SPECIAL REPORT

In a study by Turek et al., puppies exhibited lower levels of serum vitamin E, a functional, physiological antioxidant, when the level of oxidized fat in their food increased. 5 This effect was apparent after

eating test diets with low, medium and high levels of oxidation for eight weeks as shown in Figure 2. While total Vitamin E levels in the serum were higher at 16 weeks than af-ter eight weeks, the difference between low,

medium and high levels of oxidation was more pronounced after consuming the diets for 16 weeks than after eight weeks. Results from this study also indicated that degrada-tion of critical fatty acids in the diet was reflected by lower levels of those fatty acids in the puppies’ serum and bone. This was true for linoleic acid (omega 6 fatty acid, Table 1), as well as linolenic acid (omega 3 fatty acid, data not shown).

The effects of oxidized fat on physi-ological processes and status translate into measurable physical performance. In this puppy study, oxidized fat in the diet led to significant reduction in weight gain after 50 days (Figure 3). This comprehensive study illustrated the link between oxidative status and nutritional content in the diet with physiological status and physical perfor-mance of the animal.

In addition, the effects of consuming oxidized diets on overall animal physiologi-cal status include a compromised status of circulating lipoproteins,8 reduced fatty acid synthesis,9 liver damage and reduced liver function10. Fortunately, however, the risk of these negative consequences from feed-ing oxidized products can be dramatically reduced, because we know how to control autoxidation in diets.

Controlling the oxidation process

While there is no way to completely prevent or eliminate light and temperature changes, exposure to air, water, metal ions or other factors that contribute to the oxidation process in pet food diets, the process can be reduced and managed with a robust stability program.

In order to understand how to control autoxidation of fat-based nutrients, it is important to recognize that the process is initially a reaction between the nutrient and oxygen. Knowing that the pathways are irreversible, but at the same time self-prop-agating, can also help design programs to manage oxidation, as shown in Figure 1.

The role of antioxidants is to interrupt the autoxidation process as early as pos-sible before many secondary breakdown products are formed. Antioxidants perform this function by being oxidized themselves instead of the food nutrients undergoing oxidation. Further, oxidized antioxidant molecules become stable free radicals, which prevents self-propagation, a critical

factor in being able to manage stability of the food.

Figure 4 illustrates many of the events that occur when an unsaturated fat or lipid in a food is oxidized.11 The content of the nutrient, such as an unsaturated lipid, decreases, while oxygen consumption increases. As oxidation occurs, there is an increase in intermediates such as hydroper-oxides, followed by nonvolatile and volatile by-products, such as aldehydes and ketones.

If all of the antioxidant is used, the nutrients will no longer be protected. On the other hand, as long as antioxidant is present, it will sacrifice itself to protect the nutrient. The goal of a stabilization program is to deliver enough antioxidant to the diet so that the full shelf life can be reached before the antioxidant is consumed.

Palatability

In addition to the effects on physiological status of an animal consuming oxidized fat, the palatability of a food with oxidized fats will be negatively affected. Data are shown in Table 2 for a dog food stored at a high temperature condition under which autoxi-dation is accelerated.7 Products 1 and 2 had different stabilization systems for controlling oxidation during shelf life, and the efficacy of the stabilization systems were measured over time by tracking the peroxide value of the products. The peroxide value (PV) is a measure of intermediate compounds in the autoxidation process as illustrated in Figure 4.11 The non-volatile and volatile oxidation break down products formed from peroxides can affect taste and aroma.3 After exposure to 16 weeks of accelerated storage, dog food with a higher PV had a lower the palatability as indicated by the consumption ratios of the diets fed to dogs (Table 2).7

Similar data show that the higher the PV the lower the palatability for cats (Table 3).12 Further, the more oxidized the diet becomes during shelf life the greater the reduction in palatability.

Cat food palatability is especially sensi-tive to changes in stability. In a study on the impact of ingredients on diet palatability, a comparison was made between chicken by-product meal made with or without an antioxidant prior to use in a cat food diet.12 Diet palatability was lower when the cat food was made with an untreated chicken-by-product meal versus a control diet made with meal that was properly stabilized with

an antioxidant (Figure 5). This palatability difference was detected even before a dif-ference in peroxide value between the diets was detected (data not shown), reinforcing the idea that even low levels of autoxidation affect palatability.

Summary

There are many features that define a product’s quality. Many of these individual parameters, such as process conditions, ingredient selection, and nutrient profile, are connected to each other in terms of how the product performs through manufac-ture, distribution and final use. In order to ensure that a pet food or treat meets a pet parent’s quality expectations, it is important to anticipate the interactions that are most likely to occur when the product is being designed and developed. The quality pro-gram needs to build in constraints that take these interactions into consideration.

The examples shown illustrate that an inadequate stabilization program can nega-tively affect both nutrition and palatability. Therefore, stabilization programs for pet food diets should be a part of the pet food quality program.

Managing the relationship between stability, nutritional benefits and palatability

SPECIAL REPORT

With so many brands and varieties of petfood available, the food and treats that pet owners select for their pets and their opinion about whether these products are “good enough” is critical. Clearly, pet foods and treats must meet pet owners’ expectations for quality, but beyond that, what can pet food manufac-turers do to deliver the highest quality products?

Pet food quality is dependent on a number of interrelated factors — including nutri-tional components, processing, palatability and stability. Managing these dynamics is a significant challenge for pet food manufac-turers. While on the surface these factors may seem to be unrelated, they are in fact closely tied to one another.

The following examples further illus-trate this relationship. The extent to which the carbohydrates in pet food are cooked and the density of the kibble can impact palatability; at the same time, the cooking level and density are also directly related to

kibble consistency and factory throughput. Second, the type of fiber used in a diet is known to affect stool weight and elimina-tion frequency1, but may also lead to an increase in the amount of fine powder and broken kibble pieces in a bag of pet food. Finally, while functional ingredients provide targeted nutritional benefits, they may also affect product shelf life; for instance, increasing the level of omega-3 fats tends to reduce oxidative stability of the diet2.

Understanding and managing these relationships is critical to ensuring a qual-ity pet food that is not only fresh, but also safe and nutritious. Let’s look more closely at these parameters of quality — stability, nutrition and palatability — and how they can be connected.

The autoxidation process

As soon as a pet food is manufactured, it begins to undergo a variety of chemical and physical changes. Oxidation — and more specifically autoxidation, which occurs in the presence of oxygen — is one type of reac-

tion that occurs in food. 3 Autoxidation of fats, oils, and fat-like nutrients can impact aesthetic characteristics, such as taste and aroma, cause rancidity and decrease nutri-tional value.

The physical oxidation of a food caused by autoxidation of fat-like nutrients is different than biological oxidation. Bio-logical oxidation of nutrients in the body is essential for life as it is how energy is extracted from food. Unlike biological oxidation, however, physical autoxidation has no beneficial outcomes and several negative outcomes, including rancidity. As such, autoxidation of ingredients, pet foods and nutrients should be controlled and kept to a minimum.

As shown in Figure 1, autoxidation is a complex process in which several types of molecules are oxidized and many different intermediate and terminal compounds are formed via chemical reactions, interactions and pathways.3 Secondary by-products of oxidation, such as aldehydes, ketones, and epoxides4, are also formed.

Impact of oxidized diets on animals

Reduced nutrient intake has been observed when animals were fed oxidized fat.5 This may be due to either a reduction in the quantity of food consumed, or reduced energy realized from ingested nutrients. While nutrient molecules are broken down into subcomponents that are metabolized or excreted, the body is not efficient at me-tabolizing or excreting oxidized nutrients. Their inefficiency may yield harmful break-down compounds that are accumulated in body tissues.6 Loss of palatability is also observed,7 which may be another reason for reduced nutrient intake via less consump-tion by the animal.

BLUE LINE

Blue Line trains will run every 12 minutes throughout the day, with some 8-car trains to provide additional capacity. During rush hour, two Blue Line trains per hour will be replaced with Yellow Line trains once the Silver Line opens. All stations in Virginia will see trains arrive as frequently as they do today.

All stations in the core serviced by Orange, Blue and Silver Lines will see trains arrive about every 4 minutes

MetroAlerts is an important tool for Metro riders. This free service sends real-time notifications about service disruptions and schedule changes to riders’ smartphones and computers. Signing up is easy— create an account at wmata.com/metroalerts, choose your preferred rail lines and bus routes, and you’re ready to go.

The SmarTrip® card provides riders with the most cost-effective and convenient way to ride Metro. A SmarTrip® card is a permanent, rechargeable card used to pay Metrorail and local bus system fares, as well as parking at Metro facilities.

Riders save money by using a SmarTrip® card. On Metrorail, each trip taken with a SmarTrip® card costs $1 less than those taken with a paper farecard—a savings of $2 per roundtrip! And SmarTrip® is the only way to take advantage of cost-saving transfer options between Metrobus and Metrorail.

Riders can register their card for Auto Reload online to avoid waiting in line at the fare machines. Auto Reload charges a rider’s credit card whenever the balance drops below $10 or an existing pass is about to expire.

For more information about SmarTrip® and to sign up for Auto Reload, go to wmata.com/smartrip.

FIGHTING CANCER IN AMERICAOver three decades, the American Institute for Cancer Research has torn down institutional beliefs about the cause of cancer, beliefs that were promoted by the establishment to those with little understand-ing of the disease. AICR has been the major leader in finding out what causes this dreaded disease and the steps that an individual can take to prevent them from getting it in the first place, and for those who do get cancer, how to reduce their chances of having it return.

These accomplishments were funded by our donors who support AICR. We take no money from the government or anyone else who might compromise our research or health recommendations.

2012 US Government Acknowledges AICR Dietary GuidelinesGovernment experts finally heavily cite AICR’s guidelines while drafting dietary guidelines for all Americans.

2009 US Congress Put on NoticeAICR drafted Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention and presented it to the US Congress in attempt to change public policy as it relates to the preventability of cancer.

2007 Second Report on Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer Published and Released This report was the most comprehensive ever published showing the links between food, nutrition, physical activity and cancer prevention. New recommendations for cancer prevention were disseminated. It is estimated that nearly 400,000 new cancer cases annually in America alone could be prevented by following these guidelines.

2003 Obesity Is Linked to CancerAICR-funded research finds links between body weight and the chance of getting cancer. Those considered obese are more likely to get cancer than those of normal weight.

2002 Reach Out to Cancer SurvivorsFor those who had survived cancer surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, their journey to maintain a cancer free life had just begun. AICR began conducting regional seminars to update cancer survivors with the most current information on how diet and nutrition might help avoid a reoccurrence of their cancer.

2000 Diet and Cancer Research Lab Established

AICR joined with the University of North Carolina to establish the AICR/WCRF Institute for the Advanced Study of Diet, Nutrition and Cancer at the School of Public Health. This was the first lab where scientists could focus their search for links between diet and cancer with dedicated funds.

1997 First Expert Report on Diet, Lifestyle and Cancer PublishedAICR collected research studies from around the world and a team of leading scientists identified the most important findings. These findings were published and distributed to cancer researchers throughout the world in an effort to encourage more study into the important area of diet and nutrition.

1994 Landmark Cancer Study in ChinaA turning point in research on diet and cancer came when AICR helped finance the China Project led by Colin Campbell, PhD of Cornell University, Oxford University and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. Dr. Campbell and his team were able to identify groups of people with similar diets who had very low cancer rates. This was the first field evidence that people who did not have access to meat and dairy products had much lower cancer rates than people who did eat meat and dairy.

1992 AICR Funds Revolutionary Research on Broccoli

This research produced clear evidence that broccoli contains sulforaphane — a cancer fighting compound that finally led the way to major government funding for ongoing research into identifying more cancer fighting foods.

1990 First Diet and Nutrition Science ConferenceBringing scientists together for the first time to talk about how diet can be used in the prevention of cancer, AICR invited leading cancer researchers from around the world to tell others about advancements they were making in their own labs and build excitement about research into how diet can prevent cancer.

1988 Breaking Through to Health ProfessionalsOnly an embarrassing 6% of physicians and health professionals offered courses in nutrition so AICR began distributing “Take One” stands to doctor’s waiting rooms from coast to coast so patients could learn about the dietary steps they could take to prevent them from getting cancer.

1987 First Research on Soy Products and Their Relationship to Cancer PreventionAICR funded groundbreaking research into soy and its relationship to cancer that finally led to funding into this area by the U.S. government.

1984 Newsletter on Diet, Nutrition and Cancer Is Launched to Promote Thinking About the Eating Habits of Americans

Since the government, under pressure from the food industry, refused to distribute information about the link between the food we eat and getting cancer, AICR decided to publish its own educational newsletter to bring this message to the American people. This award winning newsletter has changed the way we eat and how we live to help prevent us from getting cancer.

1984 Dietary Guidelines Published in the New York TimesUnder heavy criticism from groups representing the food industry, scientists receiving funding from them and other cancer charities, AICR published its Dietary Guidelines To Lower Cancer Risk in a full page ad in the New York Times, prompting debate among scientists and policy makers throughout the United States.

1983 Diet, Nutrition and Cancer

When the National Academy of Sciences released its landmark report “Diet, Nutrition and Cancer” its findings were downplayed by the government and lobbyists representing the interests of the food industry. AICR, using donations from ordinary Americans, printed 15,000 copies of the report and mailed them free of charge to cancer researchers throughout the world. This began a movement to recognize that what we eat may be a major contributor to the development of cancer.

1982 AICR founded by a small group of concerned individuals who saw evidence that there was a relationship between the foods we eat and the chance of getting cancer. The War on Cancer was 20 years old and had little to show for the billions of dollars spent. Government funds had been directed toward medical and pharmaceutical treatments. Little had been spent on learning how to prevent Americans from getting the disease.

“There is growing evidence that poor nutrition is as much a risk for

cancer as smoking. For more than 25 years, that’s been AICR ’s focus.

Their work is transforming the field.”

– Steven H. Zeisel, MD, PhD

Director of the University of North Carolina’s Nutrition Research Institute

“Today my team and I are working to find even more cancer-fighting

foods and to understand how they work in the body. Without the

ongoing commitment of AICR to this research, I’m not sure if we

would be able to continue.” – Paul Talalay, MD

Johns Hopkins University

“I know breakthroughs are just around the corner, and thanks to

AICR ’s support of young researchers like me, I know we will

find them.”

– Susan Steck, PhD

Researcher, University of South Carolina

“[AICR has] been at the cutting-edge of research on the diet-cancer

link for years now.”

– Lauri Byerley, PhD, RD

Louisiana State University Health Center

“I believe every cancer survivor deserves the chance to enhance

his or her quality of life. AICR is making that possible, not just by

conducting quality survivor research but also by getting the word

out that the choices we make every day can improve our chances

of survival.”

– Diana Dyer, MS, RD

Registered Dietitian and three-time cancer survivor

“In a time when funding sources for research are drying up, AICR

is out there encouraging the kind of basic science that has huge,

far-reaching implications on human health.”

– Dr. Donato Romagnolo

University of Arizona

Leaving a Gift?

I would like to join Guideposts and help care for people with Alzheimer’s and their carers

Please send me more information on making a will and leaving a gift.

Please put me in touch with a professional Will writer who can visit my home

Please tick this box if you have already left a gift and are happy to let us know

Imagine creating a world where when you or a loved one suffered a long term illness or disease the support and care you needed, whenever you needed it was there. That is Guideposts aim for everyone. In local communities and nationally, working with others Guideposts is developing, innovating and expanding our services to meet this growing need. Looking after those who are old and sick at the end of their lives. Our work has never been more needed. That is why Guideposts has created a Fellowship of Care to increase the legacy income we get from those who leave a gift in their will. Whenever the time is right I hope that you will consider the needs who have Alzheimer’s and leave a gift in your Will to ensure that everyone who needs help and support at the end of their lives gets the care they deserve.

The Importance of having a will

Leaving a GiftYour Will is one of the most important documents you will ever draw up. It sets out how you want your property and other assets to be dealt with after you have passed on. If you do not have a valid Will your assets may not be divided up as you would wish and if you have no surviving relatives all your assets will go to the state rather than good cause–where it would be of great value in helping others.

Three gifts for people with Alzheimer’sWhen writing your Will there are three main ways you can support Guideposts

■ A percentage of your estate. After you have taken care of those you love, you can give then give a percentage of what is left to help people with Alzheimer’s. This form of giving is often the most valuable way you can support our work.■ A monetary gift. You can determine in advance an amount of money that you would like to go to help people with dementia and their carers.■ A specific item. You may have an item of value, jewelery, investments, furniture etc that you would like to leave to Guideposts. If so then you can bequeath this item to us so we as a charity benefits from its value.

If you already have a WillIt is easy to change a Will you have to add a gift. Very few words are need to add to what is know as a Codicil, a one page document added as an addendum to your Will. Quite often supporters of Guideposts use this method to make a gift.

Please note.. A Will is a legal document. To ensure that your wishes are clearly established we advise using a solicitor or a professional Will writer. Guideposts can help you find someone locally. Please call our Supporters Helpline on 01993 893565 or email [email protected]

Care and Support Guideposts Trust Ltd Registered in England No 1282361 Registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales (Registered Charity No: 272619)

Guideposts Trust was established in 1972 and relies upon voluntary and financial support for its work

R.indd 2 3/26/13 10:26 AM

Supporting Guideposts with a gift in your Will gives

people who are ill, disabled or have dementia the care

and support they need at the end of their lives.

From diagnosis to the end of life Guideposts

services provides information, practical help, personal

care, quality of life, and reassurance.

Providing individuals, carers and families with the help

that they need, when and where thy need it.

With your help they can.

■ 820,000 people currently live with Alzheimer’s

and other forms of dementia.

■ There are 300,000 older carers looking after

someone with dementia

■ 100,000 people turn to Guideposts Alzheimer’s

help and support service

■ 40,000 hours of individual care and support

provided by Guideposts to people living in

the community

Through the Alzheimers Care and Research Fund I see

it all the time.

Thousands of individuals who make generous one off

gifts to help people with dementia, supporters who

make small monthly gifts, and those who leave a gift

in their will to care for people ending their lives with

alzheimers.

Teddy was one of our supporters who made a gift in his

will, and even though he never knew Betty his kindness

and thoughtfulness changed her life.

Let me tell you how.

Betty has Alzheimer’s. Her husband is disabled and so

finds it really difficult to help her. Through the gift that

Teddy left Guideposts was able to set up a help at home

care service that provides older people with the help,

personal care and support that they need to live a quality

of life.

Through Help at Home we looked after Betty, helped

her spend time in her garden, took both Betty and her

husband out, helped them with shopping and all the

practicalities that were becoming such a struggle to

them both. When Betty got lost one time one of our staff

went out and found her.

When Betty passed away her husband wrote to us and

said “You will never know how much your support and

kindness have helped us. So many others end their lives

neglected and no one to care for them. Yet Guideposts

ensured that the last years of her life were as wonderful

as they could be all the way to the end. Thank you so

much.”

I doubt if Teddy could have dreamed that the gift he

left in his Will would have made such a difference to

someone’s life. But it did.

And you can make a difference to.

Enclosed is a leaflet about making a Will and leaving a

gift for people with Alzheimer’s. I hope that whenever

the time is right this is something you might consider.

Someone you have never met will be enormously

grateful for your kindness if you do.

It affects all ages and socio-eco-nomic groups, with developing countries bearing a disproportionate burden.CANCER IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIESCancer is a global issue and becoming an increasing public health problem in poorer countries.

Myth 3 Cancer is a death sentenceTruth: Many cancers that were once considered a death sentence can now be cured and for many more people, their cancer can be treated effectively.ADVANCES IN CANCER PREVENTION AND TREATMENTAdvances in understanding risk and prevention, early detection and treatment have revolutionised the management of cancer leading to improved outcomes for patients.

Cancer myths: get the factsMany people believe that cancer is just ‘bad luck’ or ‘fate’.

The truth is:

Millions of people still believe the myth that cancer is ‘fate’. In fact, only about 5-10% of all cancers result from specific inherited genes. Most of us can therefore do something about our cancer risk.

87,000 cases of cancer in the UK could be prevented every year through choosing a healthy diet, being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight – that’s enough people to fill London’s Olympic stadium.

After not smoking maintaining a healthy weight is the most important thing you can do for cancer prevention.Scientific evidence shows that:

Eating plenty of vegetables, fruit, wholegrains and pulses can contribute to reducing your risk of a number of cancers including oesophagus and stomach cancer.

Being physically active reduces your risk of breast and bowel cancers.

Drinking alcohol increases your risk of five types of cancer including breast and oesophagus cancers.

Having too much salt increases your risk of stomach cancer.

Red River Navy Fact Sheets


What’s Happening?When the Silver Line opens, most stations in Virginia will continue to see trains arrive as frequently as they do today. However, more Yellow Line trains—and fewer Blue Line trains—will service Metrorail stations along the Blue Line from Franconia-Springfield to Pentagon.

Blue Line trains will run every 12 minutes throughout the day once Silver Line service begins.

This change is necessary because there are only two ways for trains to cross the Potomac River—over the Yellow Line bridge, and under Rosslyn through a tunnel that serves the Blue, Orange and Silver Lines. Trains already travel through the tunnel every 2-3 minutes, so every train that is added for Silver Line service means fewer trains coming from other lines.

Blue Line riders may want to consider: Am I better off switching to Yellow?

Rider ToolsPassenger Information Displays (PIDs) in Metrorail stations provide riders with real-time information about train arrivals. On most station platforms, the PID shows the next three trains and the time until their arrivals.

The PIDs at many Blue Line stations are different. They always display when the next Blue Line train will arrive, even if it is not one of the next three trains. This PID adjustment provides a steady stream of information to Blue Line passengers, reduces uncertainty, and helps riders make better travel decisions.

Next Train and NextBus provide riders with access to real-time Metrorail and Metrobus arrival information from their computers and mobile devices. The information available through Next Train and Nextbus helps riders strategically plan their Metro travel and reduce wait time. Find out when the next bus or train will arrive at wmata.com.

Trip Planner provides instant itineraries for travel on Metrorail, Metrobus, and other local bus and rail systems. Riders can compare multiple itineraries with door-to-door fares and travel times, complete with walking directions and transfers. Plan your trip from home at wmata.com/tripplanner or on-the-go by visiting wmata.com on your mobile device.

For example, a trip from Pentagon Station to McPherson Square Station, takes 11 minutes on a direct Blue Line train. Taking the Yellow Line to L’Enfant Plaza and switching to the Blue, Orange or Silver Lines takes just three minutes longer. So if a Yellow Line train is arriving and the next Blue Line train is more than three minutes away, you may just want to say hello to Yellow!

Travel Time Differences

If you usually take the Blue Line from Virginia into the District, taking a Yellow Line train and switching at L’Enfant Plaza may be the faster option. Don’t forget to factor in the wait time!

Bus AlternativesThe Silver Line

Opening in 2014, the Silver Line will operate between Wiehle-Reston East Station in Virginia and Largo Town Center Station in Maryland, making all stops through downtown D.C.

Silver Line trains will provide service at Blue Line stations from Rosslyn to Largo Town Center.

Metro’s Silver Line will provide new connections to several of the region’s most dynamic and rapidly growing economic centers. Coupled with integrated bus service, the Silver Line’s high-quality, high-capacity transit service will give riders new, traffic-free access to employment, entertainment, and shopping opportunities.

Five new Silver Line stations will open in 2014—four in Tysons, and one farther west at Wiehle Avenue in Reston. Traveling inbound from the new stations, Silver Line trains will join the Orange Line west of East Falls Church and travel through downtown D.C. to Largo Town Center, serving all stations along the way like the Orange and Blue Lines.

When the Silver Line begins service in 2014, it will not go to Dulles International Airport. An additional 11-mile extension of the Silver Line, projected to open in 2018, will connect to Dulles and beyond. www.wmata.com

With the arrival of the Silver Line, it’s time

for Blue Line riders to consider their options

for the fastest and most efficient Metro travel.
