FW: Scientists Get OK for Engineered Peanuts

(AP) -- A leading industry group has given scientists the go-ahead to build genetically engineered peanuts that could be safer, more nutritious and easier to grow than their conventional version. The work could lead to peanuts that yield more oil for biofuel production, need less rainfall and grow more efficiently, with built-in herbicide and pest resistance -- traits that have already been engineered into major crops such as cotton, corn, soybeans and canola. For consumers, the work could lead to peanuts with enhanced flavor, more vitamins and nutrients, and possibly even nuts that are less likely to trigger allergic reactions, a life-threatening problem for a small percentage of the population and a major food industry concern. A few researchers have been genetically modifying peanuts for at least a decade, but their discoveries have had little impact because the industry, fearing a consumer backlash, was reluctant to support the work. However, with the two leading peanut-producing countries, China and India, working aggressively on transgenic peanuts, the American Peanut Council and its research arm, the Peanut Foundation, this month approved a major policy change. The council represents all segments of the industry -- growers, shellers, exporters and manufacturers. The foundation urged scientists to move ahead with ''due diligence'' on genetically engineered peanuts. The work is expected to cost about $9.5 million and will require university, government and industry support. ''It's a significant redirection in their thinking,'' said Peggy Ozias-Akins, a <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/u/univers ity_of_georgia/index.html?inline=nyt-org> University of Georgia horticulture professor who has been working with genetically modified peanuts since the late 1990s. The foundation also called for additional genome studies to learn more about the location and function of the natural peanut genes. Because peanuts are considered a minor crop, their genetics still have not been studied as extensively as major crops such as soybeans, Ozias-Akins said. Peanuts are believed to have originated in South America at least 3,500 years ago. Farmers in the Southern U.S. only started cultivating them in the early 1900s when the boll-weevil made it nearly impossible to grow cotton. Now they are grown in 15 states from Virginia to New Mexico. Georgia is traditionally the nation's No. 1 producer. The U.S. peanut acreage dropped from nearly 1.7 million acres in 2005 to 1.2 million this year, while the acreage for two crops that benefit from genetic modification, cotton and soybeans, increased. While experts say peanut acreage may drop again next year, scientists believe genetically modified peanuts could help reverse the trend. A group of 14 university, <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/a/agricul ture_department/index.html?inline=nyt-org> U.S. Department of Agriculture and food industry scientists, including Ozias-Akins, prepared a report on biotech peanuts and presented it recently to the Peanut Foundation. The scientists concluded the technology could reduce growing costs, improve nutrition and overall quality for consumers and have the potential to reduce the allergy threat in peanuts. ''There is a sense in the industry that genetically modified products are becoming slightly more accepted in most of the world and that by the time we would have the first genetically modified peanut on the market -- five years -- that trend will have accelerated,'' said Howard Valentine, the Peanut Foundation's executive director. A small amount of genetically modified sweet corn, squash and about half of Hawaii's papayas are the only U.S. crops currently grown for human consumption, said Gregory Jaffe, biotechnology director for the <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/c/center_ for_science_in_the_public_interest/index.html?inline=nyt-org> Center for Science in the Public Interest, a food and nutrition consumer advocacy group. ''Overall, our view is that genetic engineering is a technique that can be used to overcome grower problems, or to enhance consumer value in products,'' he said. ''We support that as long as those products have been determined safe for human consumption.'' ------ On The Net: The American Peanut Council: <http://www.peanutsusa.com/> http://www.peanutsusa.com Angie Tagtow, MS, RD, LD Environmental Nutrition Consultant 13464 NE 46th Street Elkhart, Iowa 50073 515.367.5200 angie.tagtow(a)mac.com Check out the new Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition at www.haworthpress.com/store/product.asp?sku=J477 Fern Gale Estrow, MS, RD, CDN 200 West 18th Street New York, New York 10011 212/691-5154 212/627-7641 (fax) fge2(a)earthlink.net

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Accepting Proposals for Childhood Obesity Prevention Research
by Tom Joseph 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

FYI -- Application deadline is 2/13/2007 Posted on December 22, 2006 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Accepting Proposals for Childhood Obesity Prevention Research Healthy Eating Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation <http://www.rwjf.org/> that supports research on environmental and policy strategies to promote healthy eating among children to prevent childhood obesity, especially among low-income and racial/ethnic populations at highest risk for obesity. Findings are expected to advance the foundation's efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015. This second round of funding focuses on children's food environments and policies in selected community settings - preschool, child-care, school and after-school environments, as well as nearby food outlets. Preference will be given to those applicants that may be either public entities or nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Applicant organizations must be based in the United States or U.S. territories. To help build a multi-disciplinary field of research, Healthy Eating seeks proposals from a variety of investigators in a range of fields, including agriculture, behavioral science, business, economics, education, law, marketing, medicine, nutrition, political science, psychology, public health, public policy, and urban planning. Approximately $3 million in total funding will be awarded for two types of research grants: 1) Studies to identify and evaluate promising food environments and policy changes with potential to prevent obesity among children (12- to 18-month awards of up to $100,000 each, and 18- to 36-month awards of up to $400,000 each); and 2) Analyses of macro-level policy or system determinants of food environments and policies that relate to the targeted community settings (12- to 18-month awards of up to $75,000 each). Visit the RWJF Web site for complete program information.
