Can we really stem the tide? The weight management industry has gone through a yo-yo diet of claims, products and themes over the years. And as the New Year draws near, Americans are considering yet another diet to pledge their allegiance while companies are investigating a new paradigm for weight-loss ingredients and claims. Experts predict that for 2010, the mantra lose 30 pounds in 30 days is out, behavior management and healthy body composition is in.
This Nutracon webinar promises to inspire as experts discuss the latest trends in weight management and the future of the category. Our team of experts will also look at the challenges within this category such as recent adverse events from products such as Hydroxycut, FTC enforcement on misleading weight loss claims and ingredients that show promise for the coming year.

Separating the folklore from the facts
The SuperFruits phenomenon has gained sweet success because of not only great taste but also from its experiential element that resides deep in the tropics. Ian Crown, SuperFruits' pioneer and farmer will share his stories about what is so super about SuperFruits. Dr. Jim Joseph, Ph.D, USDA, Agricultural Research Service Research Physiologist and author of The Color Code Diet, will discuss the pros and cons of marketing antioxidants and ORAC levels and will talk about the credible versus the incredible when it comes to super fruit health claims. Steve Baugh, Analytical Services Expert, will dig deep into ORAC to help developers understand how it can be manipulated and suggest other analytical tools and techniques to be evaluated.
