Sugar: Is It Naughty or Nice? (15 Wellness Points)*
Start Date: 3/6/2024Start Time: 12:00 PM
End Date: 3/6/2024End Time: 1:00 PM

Event Description
This talk will explore the various aspects of how different sugars affect our body's metabolism and our brain's pleasure response. We will offer some perspective on how much "sugar" is needed on a daily basis and why the US Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting added sugar to less than 10% of daily caloric intake.

Jennifer Nasser, PhD, is a registered dietitian and nutritional neuroscientist with postdoctoral training in obesity research and addiction psychiatry. She has over twenty years of experience conducting human nutrition-related research. Her laboratory research focuses on the brain’s response to food and nutrients, the use of alternatives to food rewards, and how the brain’s response to food and nutrients, and use of alternative rewards varies across metabolic and psychiatric disorders. She is also engaged in community-based translational research involving the effectiveness of home delivery of medically prescribed meals and the application of nutrition-related health indices to the provision of food for the homeless.
