    Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust -- developers of the Mediterranean
    Diet Pyramid with the Harvard School of Public Health and World Health
    Organization -- has organized this Scientific and Communications Conference
    to
    kick-off its new multi-year educational program about phytonutrients,
    antioxidants, life-long good health, and consuming a "Daily Dozen."

    The Conference will focus on (1) synthesizing the science of
    antioxidants, phytonutrients, phytochemicals and other building blocks
    of healthy diets, and (2) successfully communicating this synthesis to the
    media
    and consumers with effective messages.

    The Initiative will develop specific tools to communicate powerful messages
    to American consumers about: (a) the relationships
    of antioxidants and phytonutrients to good health; (b) what foods and
    drinks are health-protective; and (c) how consuming a Daily Dozen can be
    pleasant and simple.

    CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS:

    o Dietitians will discuss what kinds of messages best motivate their
    clients
       and patients.
    o World-renowned scientific experts will present
       state-of-the-knowledge about antioxidants and phytonutrients.
    o Leading journalists and food specialists will
       participate in sessions on effective communications messages.
    o Chefs and cookbook authors will discuss issues of food preparation
       and palatability.
    o Two communications tools ‹ a graphic (as the Mediterranean Diet
       Pyramid is a communications tool) and a Periodic Table of
       Antioxidants and Phytonutrients ‹ will be introduced at
       the Conference to help consumers reach their Daily Dozen.
    o Incredibly delicious, healthy food, including lunches designed by
       three of the best known magazine test kitchens in America!
