Some of the world's leading investigators on soy will present their findings over the four-day conference. Especially noteworthy presentations include:
"Soy Protein Effects on Serum Lipoproteins: An Updated Meta-
analysis and Grading of Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trials" by James W. Anderson, University of Kentucky Professor of Emeritus, Medicine and Clinical Nutrition. Overview: The FDA is currently re-evaluating the health claim awarded in 1999 for soy and heart health based on the cholesterol-lowering effects of soy protein. Dr. Anderson will present the results of the most comprehensive review and meta-analysis of the clinical data conducted so far.
"Association between Soy Isoflavones Intake and Breast Cancer Recurrence and Survival,” by Xinmei Kang, Department of Medical Oncology, Cancer Hospital of Harbin Medical University. Overview: Recently published research found soy consumption improves the prognosis of breast cancer patients. Dr. Kang will describe the results of an epidemiologic study that examined the relationship between soy intake and breast cancer prognosis and the impact of soy on the efficacy of aromatase inhibitors.
"Effect of a Novel Supplemented Soy Drink on Skin Aging in Postmenopausal Women,” by Robin van den Berg, Expertise Team Leader in Nutrition Sciences, Unilever. Overview: The ‘beauty from within' approach is gaining attention from both the nutrition and dermatological communities. Dr. van den Berg will present one of the first clinical studies to examine the role of soy in promoting skin health"

gianluigi_russo@mac-oils. writes "Announcement
Dear Sir or Madam,
We are pleased to announce the Third International Rice Congress (IRC2010) to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam on 8 - 12 November 2010. With the theme "Rice for future generations”, IRC2010 is the world's largest gathering of the rice industry. Thousands of rice scientists, researchers, traders, farmers, processors, policy-makers and technology experts from around the world will be seeking solutions to the challenge of ensuring adequate rice for the future.
IRC2010 will include 5 main events including the 28th International Rice Research Conference (IRRC28), which discusses the latest scientific breakthroughs. Within IRRC28 paper and poster presentations on rice quality, health, and nutrition will be conducted. A symposium on the International Network for Quality Rice (INQR) will also be organized by Dr Melissa Fitzgerald. During the INQR symposium, a new method for measuring amylose content will be formally launched, and calibrated standards distributed to INQR members.
You can contribute to the noble goal of ensuring rice for future generations and join the historic IRC2010 by:
Joining the Research Conferences. You can now submit abstracts for poster presentations for the Quality grain, health, and nutrition theme in
IRRC28 – Deadline 30 April 2010.
“We seek papers that describe research enabling us to move beyond the current plateau, toward new and deeper understanding of genetic, metabolomic, or rheological factors that underline known traits of quality and that reveals new traits that will increase the capability of breeders to select for a specific type of quality in different genetic background.”
Exhibiting your products and services, and;
Sponsoring the 3rd International Rice Congress.
We invite you to visit www.ricecongress.com for more details.
Sincerely,
To Phuc Tuong
Chairman, Organizing Committee
