Conflict of Interest in Nutrition Research
Conflict of Interest in Nutrition Research
There is a growing concern about bias and conflict of interest in the nutrition research landscape. Given the influence of systematic review and meta-analysis on nutrition policy, it has been suggested that industry sponsorship can undermine the integrity of nutrition research by investing heavily in studies that support their products and skew the systematic review process [1-3]. Out of 206 articles in a 2007 search, 111 declared financial sponsorship and the odds ratio of a favorable versus unfavorable result was 7.61 when comparing articles with all industry funding to no industry funding [2]. A systematic review of systematic reviews regarding the association between SSBs and weight gain found that those reviews with conflict of interest were five times more likely to present a conclusion of no positive association than those without [4]. A search of obesity-related arguments made by the food industry in major newspapers found suggestions that industry is “part of the solution” in 33% of the articles [5]. Other themes in the reframing of obesity included that government intervention is overreaching (25%), that products are not responsible (24%), that individuals are not responsible (15%), and that obesity is not a problem (3%) [5]. Not surprisingly, similar biases stemming from study sponsorship on the relationship between artificially sweetened beverages and weight have been found [6]. Dr. Marion Nestle has argued that corporate funding of food and nutrition research can seem more like marketing than science [7]. There exists an urgent need for improved disclosure practices and refined methods for evaluating studies used in systematic reviews. Given the obesity crisis and growing food addiction problem, reducing corporate sponsors from driving research agendas should be considered both a high public health and journal editorial board priority.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of nutrition services and utilization of registered dietitian nutritionists at substance use disorder treatment centers in Los Angeles. This cross-sectional descriptive study utilized phone interviews with facilities within a 25-mile radius of the Los Angeles metropolitan area using the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Treatment Services Locator to identify facilities that included a listing of substance abuse as primary focus of care (n=128). Facilities were asked if they offered any kind of nutrition services, the type of services that were offered, and the credential of the professional providing the services. We compared facilities that offered a residential level of care to those offering outpatient services only. The Fisher’s exact test was used to determine statistical significance. The study showed that only 39 sites (30.5%) offered any type of nutrition services on site, and the odds of a residential level of care offering nutrition services was 2.7 times higher than outpatient only facilities (p=0.02). Of the 39 facilities offering nutrition services, only 8 (20.5%) utilized a registered dietitian nutritionist. Overall fewer than 7% of the facilities utilized the services of a dietitian. Recovery programs for substance use disorder should consider using a registered dietitian nutritionist as a member of the treatment team, which may contribute to better clinical outcomes.

Preclinical evidence for the addiction potential of highly palatable foods: Current developments related to maternal influence
by David Wiss, Kristen Criscitelli, Mark Gold, Nicole Avena
Abstract:
It is well established that obesity has reached pandemic proportions. Over the last four decades the
prevalence of obesity and morbid obesity have risen substantially in both men and women worldwide.
Although there are many causative factors leading to excessive weight gain including genetics and
sedentary lifestyle, the transformation of the food environment has undoubtedly contributed to the
dangerously high rates of obesity. The current food landscape is inundated with food engineered to
contain artificially high levels of sugar and fat. Overconsumption of these types of food overrides the
homeostatic mechanisms, which under normal circumstances regulate appetite and body mass, leading
to hedonic eating. Evidence from the animal literature has illustrated nutrition-influenced perturbations
that occur within the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, as well as maladaptive behavioral responses that
result from chronic ingestion of highly palatable foods. These neurobehavioral adaptations are similar to
what is observed in drugs of abuse. Recent evidence also supports that maternal exposure to these foods
is capable of provoking neurobehavioral alterations in offspring. Therefore the purpose of this review is
to summarize the current developments on the addictive potential of highly palatable foods, as well as
illuminate the impact of maternal hyperphagia and obesity on the reward-related neurocircuitry and
addiction-like behaviors in the offspring.

Nutrition and Mental Health
As a nutrition and dietetics student I developed an interest in the field of behavioral health nutrition. The idea that nutritional deficiencies or a variety of medical disorders could produce symptoms that mimicked psychiatric abnormalities [1] resonated with me early in my academic exploratations. The links between nutrition and mental health appeared to be a promising new area of investigation. In the past decade, research on the gut microbiome has documented compelling evidence that the bacteria flora in our intestines have a direct link to our brain and that these pathways are bidirectional [2]. As a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) working with patients with co-existing mental health conditions, I have observed an association between diet and depression. Practice experience has shown that dietary improvement can reduce some depressive symptoms [3]. Given that mental illness is a major public health problem, an emerging field known as nutritional psychiatry has received increased attention [4].
There are established links between depression and chronic diseases such as obesity [5], metabolic syndrome [6], and type 2 diabetes [7]. There are also associations between depressive symptoms and inflammatory bowel disease [8], as well as disordered eating [9]. Recent evidence suggests that altering the composition of the gut microbiome can lead to depressive-like behavior in animal models [10]. Because the human microbiome is highly influenced by foods that we eat, there may be an opportunity to improve depressive-like symptoms through dietary interventions. Randomized controlled human trials have shown that nutrition interventions can provide alternative or adjunct treatment for depression in common conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes [11]. The most common dietary recommendation is a Mediterranean-style diet with early trials showing a reduction in depressive symptoms [12,13]. Given the likelihood that nutrition can improve some depression-related symptoms, targeted dietary interventions should be considered a public health priority.

From Private Practice to Public Health
David- Tell us more about your background and private practice. Tell us about your current vision, and your decision to get your doctorate.
Five years ago, after completion of my master’s degree in Family and Consumer Sciences and becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) I founded a company called Nutrition in Recovery which specializes in treating patients with challenging eating and substance use disorders (SUDs). The group now comprises six RDNs who supervise educational groups at SUD treatment centers throughout Los Angeles. My continuing interest in this patient population led me to develop specialized dietary and educational curriculum for people in early recovery. When possible, I have used evidence-based principles to better manage patients with nutrition-related abnormalities. This has led to three journal publications, two book chapters, two poster exhibits, seven webinars, and over 20 podium presentations. I have also written six articles for the Behavioral Health Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group who recognized my work with the “Excellence in Practice” award presented at the national Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE) in October 2017. I have also been a master’s thesis committee member for students enrolled at California State University, Long Beach. What I am particularly proud of is my commitment to research and academics from my private practice setting.
I am finishing my first year as a Ph.D. student in Community Health Sciences at UCLA, hoping to improve the role of nutrition interventions in patients with various SUDs. My overall goal is to reduce the incidence of disordered eating in early recovery and to improve the quality of life for patients with disabling addictive disorders. SUDs are associated with malnutrition, preference for nutrient-poor food, compromised gastrointestinal health, and disordered eating. Given the current addiction epidemic, consideration should be given to prioritizing efforts to improve eating habits and overall health in recovery programs. Nutrition interventions during recovery may promote abstinence and prevent or minimize the onset of chronic illness including eating disorders (EDs). Currently there is an urgent need for improved treatment modalities for SUDs to prevent overdose and death, reduce healthcare burden, and to improve quality of life. Nutrition protocols in SUD treatment are not widely utilized. My goal is to develop evidence-based guidelines for nutrition interventions for various addictive disorders, which will hopefully lead to better policies and procedures.
Introducing the concept of food and nutrition into an SUD treatment program faces many obstacles. Many patients in early recovery are not ready for multiple health behavior changes, since most are simply trying to get past the immediate crisis of addiction and the associated life adjustments of abstinence. In several of the treatment centers where I work, patients are surprised when they discover that making small nutritional changes (such as drinking water or eating breakfast) can impact energy levels, overall sense of wellness, and optimism about being sober. There are numerous questions that relate to food, SUDs, disordered eating, and recovery that remain unanswered. Can nutrition be used to improve SUD outcomes? What is the best practice for treating co-occurring eating and substance use disorders? How can RDNs help with recovery from mental health disorders? What policy implications can address food addiction on a societal level? What new programs can be developed for underserved populations that struggle with SUD and nutrition-related challenges?
My goal in pursuing a doctorate in public health is to produce data that guides treatment. I am confident that my work in this area will create better evidence to improve funding for nutrition services, creating opportunities for dietitians to work in publicly-funded as well as underserved SUD treatment centers. RDNs desperately need more evidence of effectiveness in order to advance our profession. With new information, it may be possible to change the way we approach SUD treatment, but more importantly to improve the recovery process amidst the current opioid crisis.

TITLE: Nutrition Interventions for Substance Use Disorder Recovery
David Wiss MS RDN
DESCRIPTION
With substance use disorder rates rising, there is an urgent need for new and effective treatment modalities. The utilization of nutrition services in addiction treatment has not been standardized, but there is a growing trend towards incorporating registered dietitian nutritionists into the treatment team. Nutrition therapy should address the most serious medical and nutritional conditions first and then target the psychological and behavioral aspects of eating. This comprehensive overview explores the impact of alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, and opioids on nutritional status. This presentation places particular emphasis on gut health, microbiome, and associated neural interactions. Homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms of eating behavior are discussed in the context of eating disorders and food addiction. In summarizing the available published evidence on human subjects, a case is made for both individual nutrition counseling and group education, as well as the implementation of food service guidelines in treatment settings. Given the current crisis of addictive disorders, consideration should be given to prioritizing efforts to improve eating habits and overall health in recovery programs. By promoting positive recovery outcomes, nutrition may reduce costs and improve resource allocation. Public health measures promoting nutrition standards in treatment settings should be implemented. Guidelines for nutrition interventions will be proposed, and a summary of where more information is needed will point towards future directions.
