Nutrition conference focuses
on benefits of herbal medicine
BY SAMEH FAHMY
The Battalion
Texas A&M Faculty of Nutrition will host
a conference to disseminate information on
herbal medicines and dietary supplements
today at 9:00 a.m. at Rudder Theater.
The 26th annual Texas Human Nutri
tion Conference, “Food & Pharmacy: Nu
trition, Herbs and Dietary Supplements,”
will include functional foods, herbal med
icines and dietary supplements.
Dr. Martyn Gunn, professor of bio
chemistry and nutrition and chairman of
the conference committee, said con
sumers should look for a scientific basis
behind claims being made by makers of
herbal medicines and supplements.
“A lot of claims have been made on
hearsay, not scientific fact,” he said.
Gunn said since dietary supplements are
not stringently regulated by the Food and
Drug Administration, buyers should beware.
“Because [supplements] are unregu
lated by the FDA,” he said, “you never
know how much you’re taking.”
Speakers at this year’s conference will
include: David B. Schmidt, senior vice
president of food safety from the Interna
tional Food Information Council; Dr.
Cathy Kapica, of nutrition and clinical di
etetics at the Chicago Medical School; Dr.
Charlotte Gyllenhaal, of the University of
Illinois College of Pharmacy, Dr. John A.
Milner, head of the Nutrition Department
at Penn State; Dr. Daniel M. Sheehan, of
the Division of Reproductive and Devel
opmental Toxicology at the National Cen
ter for Toxicological Research; and Dr.
David Lamb, of the School of Physical Ac
tivity and Education at Ohio State Univer
sity.

The Battalion
College students from four states will
attend workshops on organizational is
sues presented by Texas A&M students,
other universities and non-profit agen
cies.
The MSC Hospitality Committee’s
Southern Regional Conference on Stu
dent Community Service will attract 200
students to the George Bush Conference
Center today through Sunday.
Justin Wood, a conference coordina
tor and a senior agribusiness major, said
the goal of the conference is to bring col
lege students together to share ideas on
service.
“It is to promote the idea of service
and volunteerism,” he said. “And to cre
ate a forum where ideas and experiences
can be shared.”
Roger Bower, director of human re
sources for the Make-A-Wish Foundation
of Central Texas Inc., is presenting a
workshop at the conference and said col
lege students play a role in helping the
children served by the foundation.
“College students have a real strong
way of connecting to children,” he said.
“Because of the closeness in age, there
is an immediate connection between
volunteer students and the children.”
Wood said the conference will include
outreach activities and a fair displaying
service opportunities.
“The participants will have the op
portunity to go out in Bryan-College Sta
tion and do some hands-on service work
during the outreach activities,” he said.
“At the opportunities fair, organizations
