Cornell NutritionWorks

[Jean Egan]

Thank you so much for access to this VERY relevant topic. Our fetal-infant
mortality studies here have shown a disproportionate number of our premature
low weight babies born to obese moms...who we are concerned are afraid to
gain too much more weight,but we need more information!

  Dear colleague:

  We would like to introduce you to Cornell NutritionWorks, a new on-line
service for nutrition professionals offered through the Division of
Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University.  We provide continuing
professional education from the convenience of your desktop computer.

  Cornell NutritionWorks members can check out our latest on-line
cyber-presentation, “The Role of Childbearing in the Development of Obesity
in Women.” This presentation features Dr. Christine Olson, Professor in the
Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University. Dr. Olson provides
an excellent example of  how research can be used in practice and includes
practical ideas and tools to help women address the issue of weight gain
during and after pregnancy. In addition to viewing the presentation, members
can take the self-assessment for credit (additional fee) and participate in
the on-going discussion board to share thoughts and ideas.

  Other cyber-presentation topics available to Cornell NutritionWorks
members are “Biological, Environmental and Sociological Influences on Body
Weight” and “Evaluating the Evidence: A Look at Phytoestrogens.”

  Go to www.nutritionworks.cornell.edu and see for yourself what Cornell
NutritionWorks has to offer toward your professional development.
