Additions to Nutrition Message Board

[Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD]

Dear Colleagues,

My apologies for the cross-posting. There are some excellent
additions to the Board since January 5, 2001, the last update. 

The Board is located at:

http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/index.html

Click "Professionals' Bulletin Board" and you'll get a page
of Topic areas. Click on a Topic of interest, then read it,
and add a response if you like; or start a new conversation.

If you have information that could be of general interest,
please consider adding it to the Board -- posting it on the
Board will assure that others can access it later on.

Best regards,
Kathrynne
