The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics ratifies that vegetarian diets are healthy

The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), the most prestigious association of nutritionists in the world, has published the 2016 update of its official position regarding vegetarian diets, issued for the first time in 1987 and periodically renewed

With more than 100 bibliographic references, the current positioning of the AND summarizes the most up-to-date data published in the scientific literature of this field. In the 2016 position, as in all of the preceding, it ratifies that vegetarian diets (lacto-ovo-vegetarian and vegan diets) are healthy, may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, and are environmentally sustainable. These diets are not only suitable for all stages of the life cycle (pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence etc.), but also effective in reducing the risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. The vegetarian diet is increasingly seen as an alternative food model based on ethical, health and ecological principles. In this context, the Ibero-American University Foundation (FUNIBER), in collaboration with the Polytechnic University delle Marche (Italy), offer, since the academic year 2010/2011, the Master's Degree in Vegetarian Nutrition and Dietetics. This Master's Degree, unique in Europe, was born of the need to train health professionals that are able to meet the clients’ and patients’ requests with professionalism and human sensitivity. Moreover, it seeks to provide timely and correct knowledge to those who are interested in pursuing this nutritional path with a proper understanding of the theoretical and practical principles that represent the foundations of the vegetarian diet in all its variants, as well as the clinical implications in the prevention and treatment of major chronic-degenerative pathologies. During these years, the Master's Degree in Vegetarian Nutrition and Dietetics has responded to the growing demand, offering professionals the tools to respond to their exigencies and to those who prefer this kind of nutrition. Because it adapts itself to the positions published by international organizations of high scientific level, the Master's Degree in Vegetarian Nutrition and Dietetics is a reference for nutrition professionals. It provides an agile and effective system of training and competences in this particular field of Food Science.   The AND’s Position Paper of 2016 can be found in the following link: The official position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) was first adopted by the United States House of Representatives on October 18th 1987 and reaffirmed on September 12th 1992, September 6th 1996,  June 22nd 2000, June 11th 2006 and December 19th 2012.

The FIDBAN trustees Santos Gracia, president of the Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) and Ángel Agudo, PhD in Economics and Business Sciences attended the presentation ceremony, which began at 19:30h. And so did Alfonso Jiménez Rodríguez-Vila, co-founder of the innovative Cascajares food company, for he was one of the speakers. Apart from FUNIBER, FIDBAN will also rely on other trustees such as the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO), the Sociedad para el Desarrollo de Cantabria (SODERCAN) and the Center for Research and Industrial Technology of Cantabria (CITICAN) The Fundación Innovación y Desarrollo (FIDBAN) is a non-profit organization whose objective is to enhance profitable entrepreneur projects needing from a financial source. Likewise, it will mean an open window for capital investor from all over the world who are in search of new innovative projects. As assured by Santos Gracia, president of FUNIBER: “FIDBAN will suppose new business and job opportunities in Cantabria, and FUNIBER will contribute to that with its international contacts, since it usually occurs that new ideas are created and even a financing source can be found, but what is really difficult to find is the right people with which one can establish a relationship in each country”. Even though FIDBAN will establish its headquarters in Cantabria, its area of influence will not only be local. In fact, it will be present in 20 countries from Europe and America. In this way, the entrepreneur projects which have been enhanced thanks to FIDBAN, chosen according to their profitability, will have a global visibility, will gain access to specialized investment capitals and will benefit from the synergy that may arise as a result of the contact with other entrepreneurs from any part of the world.  FIDBAN will make it possible for entrepreneurs to reach a global investment ecosystem and to be able to present their project before an International Investors Club. Investors will participate in the forums following a face-to-face or a streaming modality. Those investors who cannot attend to any of such modalities can review the selected projects as long as they need to, since the forum will be recorded and uploaded to the FIDBAN’s platform. When an investor is interested in a certain project, then the negotiation process between investor and entrepreneur begins. FIDBAN already has available 11 entrepreneur projects. FUNIBER counts on an extensive experience in the development of R&D projects. Continuous innovation is a constant for the Iberoamerican University Foundation, which promotes the interdisciplinary research in the different knowledge areas to which it is devoted. Regarding the international cooperation projects, thanks to the FUNIBER’s international experience, the foundation has been transferring knowledge, human and social capital from 2002 in order to collaborate and cooperate in such relevant aspects as decreasing malnutrition or increasing democracy as a ground for equality and social justice.   Related news:
