Euro Fed Lipid Newsletter January 2010: Dietary Fatty Acids in Frankfurt

4th European Symposium on Dietary Fatty Acids and Health, Frankfurt, Germany, 3-4 March 2010

Dear Readers,

for the fourth time we invite you to join us at Frankfurt to discuss very recent findings on dietary fatty acids and health. After a lecture on lipotoxicity the presentations focus on cardiovascular disease and its risk factors: What is the importance of milk lipids for coronary heart disease? How are fatty acids involved in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome? Is there an impact of dietary fat on cardiac function? The first day closes with a first presentation on Omega-3 fatty acids: Is there a role for mood regulation?

The second day is mainly devoted to Omega-3 fatty acids. After an initial lecture on proven health effects it is tried to answer the question whether Alpha-linolenic acid can replace longer Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. Further presentations focus on Omega-3 fatty acids and inflammation and their role in cardiac risk modification in patients with the metabolic syndrome.

The conference closes with a critical presentation on the transfer of scientific knowledge into clinical practice.

A limited number of abstracts dealing with dietary fatty acids and health can be accepted for poster presentation. We encourage you to send us your abstract until February 15, 2010.

You are heartily welcome at Frankfurt for extensive discussion.

Trade Fair oils+fats 2010
24-26 November 2010, Munich, Germany
New team behind oils+fats

oils+fats, the International Trade Fair for the Production and Processing of Oils and Fats made from Renewable Resources, is starting the new year with a new team behind it! Within Messe München, responsibility for this trade fair switches from Business Unit 5 to Business Unit 4.

Dr Rainer Pfeiffer, the Managing Director now responsible for oils+fats, comments: "I am very pleased that this successful and exciting event is now within my area of responsibility." The exhibition team, under Business Unit Director Monika Dech and Exhibition Group Director Petra Westphal, comprises Martina Maciejewski (Exhibition Manager), Markus Kosak (Exhibition Assistant), Christina Maier (Manager Marketing and Communications) and Johannes Manger (Deputy Head of Marketing).

For details see here.

Among the other events organised by this same team is drinktec, World Leading Trade Fair for Beverage and Liquid Food Technology. In terms of theme therefore, oils+fats fits in very well in the new Business Unit. The next oils+fats takes place from 24 to 26 November 2010 in the M,O,C, Event Centre in Munich

What to do in Munich? Visit Upper Bavaria, south of Munich!

Upper Bavaria
Beauty on an epic scale - idyllic scenery and picture-book villages

Upper Bavaria, Germany's southernmost region, extends between the river Lech, the river Salzach, the Altmühl valley and the Bavarian Alps. It has a number of mountain ranges, from the rocky Wetterstein mountains in the west - which include Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze (2,963 metres) - to the Karwendel mountains and the Berchtesgaden Alps in the east.

Spectacular Alpine scenery are not the only features of the Upper Bavarian landscape. It also has many beautiful lakes - Chiemsee, Waginger See, Königsee, Schliersee, Tegernsee, Kochelsee, Walchensee, Eibsee, Starnberger See and Ammersee.

Upper Bavaria is a region of picture-book scenery, healthy fresh air and unspoilt nature. Its numerous lakes, national parks and nature conservation areas are a paradise for holidaymakers and sports fans.

A healthy environment, beneficial springs and a wide range of revitalising packages, events and activities are the attractions at the many renowned spas and health resorts in the region. Continuing a tradition that crossed the Alps with the Romans,

There is also a wide range of leisure and sports activities on offer all year round. Another very Bavarian pleasure is to enjoy the hearty local cuisine and a litre tankard of beer in one of the many traditional beer gardens.

The Oils-Fats-Lipids Wiki

The Oils-Fats-Lipids Wiki at the Euro Fed Lipid webpage serves as a collection of data and information about all kinds of Oils, Fats and Lipids. It is made by and for the academic and industrial community of Lipid Science and Technology.

Wikis (best known example: Wikipedia) are written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world. Anyone with internet access can make changes to Wiki articles.

Visitors do not need specialized qualifications to contribute. The intent is to have articles that cover existing knowledge, not create new knowledge (original research). This means that people of all ages and cultural and social backgrounds can write Wiki articles. Most of the articles can be edited by anyone with access to the Internet, simply by clicking the edit this page link. Anyone is welcome to add information, cross-references, or citations, as long as they do so within the editing policies and to an appropriate standard.
