Max Rubner Conference 2009 - Vitamin D and Folic Acid: Critical Micronutrients?

The Max Rubner Conference 2009 will continue the series of the Karlsruhe Nutrition Congresses which were previously hosted by the former Federal Research Centre for Nutrition and Food. The topic of the Max Rubner Conference 2009 will be: "Vitamin D and folic acid: Critical micronutrients?"

Recent national as well as international surveys suggest that the intake of these vitamins is insufficient. In addition, for vitamin D the question has been raised whether current recommended dietary intakes should be increased. Folic acid supplementation has recently been associated with increased disease risk. These issues require further research before recommendations for policy makers can be made.

New epidemiological data indicate that intake levels as well as blood concentrations of folic acid and vitamin D each are associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease and specific cancers. Other diseases associated with inadequate vitamin D intake include osteoporosis and autoimmune diseases. While data from randomized controlled trials with folic acid reported conflicting results, intervention studies with vitamin D, especially at higher concentrations, are missing.

The Conference will address these controversially discussed issues in four sessions. It will present current data on intake and status of these vitamins, epidemiological evidence, potential adverse effects, optimal intake levels, and on strategies to increase the daily intake.
It is intended to encourage multi-disciplinary discussions on the health potential of these vitamins among nutritionists, epidemiologists, physicians, food chemists, food technologists and biochemists.
You are kindly invited to this Conference, to participate in the scientific programme, to meet your colleagues and friends, and to experience the city of Karlsruhe and the beautiful Black Forest.
