I have been on this site for a few years, but usually just read.

I went back to university this year for a Masters in Food Innovation and my group are developing a food product which as well as being enjoyable to eat, will help with age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia).

Would you be willing to help us by answering a short survey? We don’t need your name or address and the answers will help in our project assessment.

Thank you so much. The link is www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/MNMBCBQ

I would have done it, but it says it is closed.
Good luck Nanna!

Good luck with the Masters NannaBanana - hope it's all going well.

I am obviously too late as the survey is now closed.

I eat nuts for this very reason. Unsalted of course.

Done but Im not an icecream fan. When I do indulge it is to do just that...indulge. Health foods and desserts don't link in my book.

IzzyB Done!

NotSpaghetti, I agree about 'none of the above'.

Squiffy Mon 01-Apr-19 10:26:48

Done! I'm curious to know why frozen desserts were selected and not other foods. Many 'health conscious' people avoid desserts - frozen or otherwise!

Done and all the best with your Masters.

Very quick survey and I have done it. (Though I rarely eat dessert!) Wishing you success with your Masters.

Gonegirl tbh we haven’t got nearly as far as thinking about packaging yet!

I’m sure there are regulations about what you can claim on packaging and of course we’d need to abide by them. In any case I don’t think “reduces muscle loss in the elderly” would be a valid claim, or comply with the law. I would think something more along the lines of “can support maintenance of healthy muscle mass as part of a healthy diet”.

Also, some bread IS available without additives but generally from specialist bakeries.
And some of us object strongly to the mass medication of having fluoride in our water supply. If you read the history of this you'll see what a boon it was to the aluminium industry though!

Hello IzzyB , please can you tell your granddaughter that she should have a "None if these" option on the page where she wants to know what you like about the idea of retirement homes. I was forced to make a false choice in order to move on.

GOOD LUCK xx

IzzyB always pleased to help, although it might have been better to start another thread. smile

BBbevan Sat 30-Mar-19 19:11:43

Reversed diabetic so rarely eat desserts .

NannaBanana Sat 30-Mar-19 19:05:49

IzzyB I’ll go and do it directly smile

Gonegirl Sat 30-Mar-19 17:59:19

I have completed the retirement living one. I can find no fault with that. smile grin

Well I don't think so.

Gonegirl Sat 30-Mar-19 17:55:03

Oh my God! Not another one! grin

Gonegirl Sat 30-Mar-19 17:54:32

Oh, for goodness sake janeainsworth. Of course I know about additions to flour (we eat wholemeal personally - don't need extras added) and fluoride etc. Wtf has that got to do with the price of fish?! And as for formula for babies - well! that is such a silly argument. They obviously have to make that as close to breast milk as possible. hmm

Exercise, aerobic and resistance, is the most important thing. Both to maintain strength and protect from falls (balance) We in the west get ample protein from our food. More than my granny did! (she lived to 93 btw (had 11 children))
