55 Implementation of HACCP and prerequisite programs in school foodservice Sakyung Yoan, MS; Jeannie Sneed, PhD, RD The issue of food safety receives much emphasis by government agencies and food-related professional associations because of the potential health and economic impact of food borne illnesses. The purpose of this research is to determi ne the food safety procedures and pract ices used in school foodservice related to HACCP and prerequisite programs. The a uthors conclude there are opportun ities for dietitia ns to provide consulting, tra ining, a nd technical assistance to schools on HACCP implementation.
61 Nutritional status of the olde r adult is associated with d entition sta tus Nadine R. Sahyoun, PhD, RD; Chien-Lung Lin, PhD; Elizabeth Krall, PhD, MPH
~ Few studies of the free-living elderly have examined nutrit ional status lb::!:::::!J indicators other than dietary uptake. The authors of this study examine
dietary quality and intake of specific nutrients in relation to dentition status in the th ird National Health and Nutri t ion Examination Survey (NHANES III) population over age 50. The resul ts of this study show that dental health is closely associated with nutr itional status a nd suggests that the status of dent ition should be considered in nutritional counseling and assessment of older adults.

67 Pycnogenol does not impact the antioxidant or vitamin C status of healthy young adults Kathryn Silliman, PhD, RD; J ohn Parry, MS; Larry L . Kirk, PhD; Ronald L. Prior, PhD Pycnogenol, water-processed extract made from the bark of Purus maritima, is a dietary supplement that is heavily promoted on the Internet and is commonly found in the dietary supplement section of drug and health food stores. The functi onal a nd health claims made by distributors of Pycnogenol a re numerous. How Pycnogenol interacts with vitamin C to increase its concentration a nd to increase total ant ioxida nt capacity of serum and urine is the objective of this study. Through this non-random intervent ion study, the a ut hors conclude the present fi nd ings fail to support the vitami n C or antioxida nt clai ms made for Pycnogeno1.
