West Haven, CT, July 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans added five important nutrients to the list of nutrients of concern, due to widespread under-consumption. These include calcium, potassium, iron, dietary fiber, and vitamin D. The USDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) consider these "shortfall nutrients" because either the average American doesn't get enough to stave off negative health effects, or a particular segment of the population (such as women or children) tend to be deficient.
Watson published an on-demand webinar by speaker Alice Wilkinson, one of the foremost industry-recognized experts in the field of nutritional formulation. The goal of this webinar is to educate the food industry on these nutritional gaps and the role the industry can have on improving health and nutrition.
The webinar is available for viewing on the company website: https://info.watson-inc.com/nutrients-of-conc...watson-inc . There is also an accompanying guide available for download.
