This #Abstract reveals the fundamental flaws and misleading conclusion of the Review published by Potani et al. (2021), to inform the #WHO on the efficacy of #RUTF containing no or less than 50% #protein from #dairy in the treatment of children with SAM. academic.oup.com/advances/artic…
For children denied treatment, the cost of blocking #innovative, #plantbased #RUTF is too high. The WHO must act to adopt proven plant-based RUTF food technology, conducive to #localproduction and that can reduce cost by up to 30% and increase coverage. twitter.com/Reuters/status…
New article on alternative formulations: A study evaluating if newly developed amino acid-enriched milk-free RUTF or amino acid-enriched low-milk RUTF treatment could replenish plasma amino acids to levels comparable to those following peanut-milk RUTF. acutemalnutrition.org/en/resource-li…
A challenging presentation by Dr Steve Collins @CGDConference noted that “vested interests” are stifling innovation & disgracefully preventing implementation of scientific evidence reducing product cost by around 20%, & transforming the numbers of malnourished children treated.
