Women & the Politics of Nutrition
Depending on where a woman lives in the US, she may find either easy access to nutritious food or be surrounded by a vast food desert. Some of our nation’s women are eating wisely while others find good nutrition very difficult. With even members of the US Congress resisting recommended guidelines, how can women make sense of abundant, sometimes conflicting, health advice?
We are fortunate to have a local expert to guide us through the maze of claims about what’s healthy and what is not. Join us and learn what the FDA, CDC and other authorities have to say about LDL, GMOs and more.
On January 19th at 5:15 pm, the Raleigh-Wake AAUW will host a well-qualified speaker on these topics and additional related ones. Barbara Ann Hughes, PhD, RD, LDN, FADA is President of BA Hughes & Associates Nutrition and a 52-year member of the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. We are proud to claim Dr. Hughes as a member and former president of the Raleigh-Wake Branch of the American Association of University Women.
