Editor’s E-Note
National Nutrition Month is upon us, and although it may not be as widely recognized as American Heart Month or other specially designated times of the year, it’s just as important. After all, what other factors play a bigger role in determining healthy outcomes than nutrition and lifestyle?
Go ahead and celebrate—this month is about you!
Meanwhile, enjoy the March edition of our e-newsletter. Notice that we’ve made some changes, including adding an “Other Nutrition News” section, which provides you the opportunity to read up on nutrition headlines from various news outlets. Take a peek and send your feedback to TDeditor@gvpub.com.
Multivitamins are useful for those who do not get enough essential nutrients from diet alone, since they can fill in the gaps and help consumers avoid deficiencies. However, women hoping to prevent disease with vitamin use may be disappointed. Read our E-News Exclusive about these supplements’ effect on cancer and heart disease.
Check out our March print issue for features on increasing diversity in dietetics, downsizing grocery stores for consumer convenience, and the nutritional power of indigenous diets.

Although vitamin D is naturally produced in the body through exposure to direct sunlight, vitamin D deficiency has become widely common in the United States.

This month’s selection:
What is the difference between sea salt and regular iodized table salt? What effect do they have on blood pressure?
Neeta Kochhar, RD
Yorba Linda, Calif.
Response:
The most important factors in the difference between the two salts are their taste and texture. Sea salt comes from sodium chloride that is harvested from the sea and iodized table salt is mined from mineral deposits. Also, iodized table salt is very finely grained and often contains anticaking agents and, of course, added iodide. From a nutritional perspective, it is important to consider iodized salt’s fine grain; a single teaspoon contains more sodium than a tablespoon of sea salt because the sea salt crystals are larger. Since most home cooks use measuring spoons and don’t weight their salt, they will end up using less in their recipes.
