NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwire - December 17, 2009) - Standard Functional Foods Group will be
hosting an invitation only cocktail event at Natural Products Expo West in
Anaheim on March 12. The guest speaker will be Dr. Timothy Church, medical
doctor and professor of Preventative Medicine at Pennington Biomedical
Research Center at Louisiana State University.
Dr. Church will discuss the critical juncture Americans face when it comes
to their health in 2010, and how professionals in the food industry play a
role in the new fitness movement of the 21st century.
He has authored over 70 research articles and received numerous awards for
his research in preventative health. Prior to accepting a position at
Pennington, Dr. Church served as vice president of medical and laboratory
research at The Cooper Institute in Dallas, known worldwide as an
international leader in some of the most comprehensive studies on human
performance and disease prevention.
Frequently used as an expert source for preventative health stories with
major national media outlets, Dr. Church has been interviewed by: The New
York Times, U.S. News and World Report, NBC's Today show, the Los Angeles
Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Reuters, The Washington Post,
Consumer Reports, Vogue, Prevention magazine, Time magazine, National
Public Radio, "O" The Oprah Magazine, the London Times, CNN and more.
Dr. Church's most recent book, "Move Yourself, The Cooper Clinic Medical
Director's Guide to All Healing Benefits of Exercise (Even a Little!)"
draws upon research from thousands of Cooper Clinic patients and research
participants from around the world. The book proves how simple activity
makes a significant impact when it comes to preventing major diseases and
obesity. Unlike other popular fitness books, "Move Yourself" advocates
engaging in pure activity, not an exercise plan.
Standard Functional Foods Group is hosting Dr. Church at its event geared
for companies who produce nutritional bars and healthy snacks and is a
contract manufacturer that specializes in formulating unique product
designs and the latest nutrition innovations.
