Only gUidelines for adults are considered in the paper although it isrecognized that several countries have developed gUidelines for speciAc population groups suchas children and pregnant mothers. The focus shall be on carbohydrates and dietary fiberrecommendations in these gUidelines. The interesting array of pictorial presentations of dietaryrecommendations from these countries shall also be discussed.FAa and WHO Carbohydrate Dietary GuidelinesFAD/WHO Joint Expert Consultation on Carbohydrates in Human NutritionThe report of the FAO/WHO Joint Expert Consultation on Carbohydrates in Human Nutrition. 19973(1997 Report) touched on several aspects of the subject. including the basic description andphysiology of carbohydrates. their role in maintenance of health and causation of diseases, therole of glycemic index in food choice as well as goals and guidelines for carbohydrate food choices.Some of the recommendations that the Consultation made in the context of the role of carbohydratesin nutrition are summarized as follows:The many health beneAts of dietary carbohydrates should be recognized and promoted.• Carbohydrate foods provide more than energy alone.Energy balance should be maintained by consuming a diet containing at least 55% total energyfrom carbohydrate from various sources and engaging in regular physical activity.• Carbohydrates, including carbohydrate-containing beverages. should not be consumed aboveoptimum levels for recreational physical activity purposes. Higher carbohydrate intakes are onlyneeded for long-term extreme endurance physical activities.• A wide range of carbohydrate-containing foods should be consumed so that the diet is sufficientin essential nutrients as well as total energy, especially when carbohydrate intake is high. Thebulk of carbohydrate-containing foods consumed should be those rich in non-starchpolysaccharides and with a low glycemic index. Processed cereals, vegetables, legumes, and fruitsare particularly good food choices.• A nutrient-dense, high carbohydrate diet may be considered optimal for the elderly. butindividualization is recommended because their speciAc nutritional needs are complex.The 1997 Report also noted that excess energy intake in any form will cause body fat accumulation.Excessive intakes of sugars which compromise micronutrient density should be aVOided. There is,however. no evidence of a direct involvement of sucrose. other sugars and starch in the etiologyof lifestyle-related diseases.WHO Monograph on Diet. Nutrition & Prevention of Chronic DiseasesThe WHO Monograph on Djet, Nutrition & Prevention of Chronic Diseases also makes severalreferences to the importance of carbohydrates and dietary Aber in human health. 4 In the rangesof population nutrient intake goals tabulated in Table 1. references have also been made to totalcarbohydrates. free sugar and dietary Aber. Population nutrient intake goals represent the populationaverage intake that is judged to be consistent with the maintenance of health in a population. Forcarbohydrates, this goal has been recommended to be from 55% to 75% of the total energy intake.

CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY‘So, have you ever thoughtabout seminary?’How to have a conversationwith a potential MTSO studentBy April Casperson, M.Div., MTSDirector of AdmissionsConsidering seminary touches people attheir very core. When they’re discerningwhether theological education is the rightnext step, they’re oen unsure how to talkabout it—or with whom.Oen, people don’t dare think aboutseminary as an option unless someone elsebrings it up to them. You may be the someoneelse they’re waiting for. So, how do youhave that conversation? Here are fourthings to keep in mind.1. It’s not your job to convincesomeone to attend seminary. Aeryou ask, “Have you ever considered attendingseminary?” allow some time forthe person to process your question. en,listen. I once had a student tell me that hethought about seminary a full 15 years beforehe enrolled at MTSO—before he evenreally knew what seminary was.2. Many successful seminarystudents enroll before they figure outwhat they want to do “when theygrow up.” We offer four master’s degrees:Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in CounselingMinistries, Master of eologicalStudies, and thenew Master of Artsin Practical eology,the successorto the Master ofArts in ChristianEducation. Studentscan and dobegin in one programbeforeswitching to another when their call becomesclearer. Adding a second degree isOften, people don’t dare think aboutseminary as an option unless someoneelse brings it up to them.another option. ey can even get their feetwet by enrolling as what we call “occasional”students, taking a few classes to see if we’re agood fit.3. Scholarships can reduce—oreliminate—a student’s financialburden. Many potential graduate studentsare understandably concerned about educationaldebt. ey’ll likely be pleasantly surprisedto learn about the options we offer.anks to the generosity of our donors, wehave almost 50 full-tuition scholarships andmany partial-tuition awards for qualifiedstudents. You don’t know until you ask.4. Be patient and beavailable. Sometimes I talk to someone inthe spring who ends up sitting in class a fewshort months later. Other times, I have conversationsthat continue for several years beforeleading to enrollment. As you give yourfriend a copy of our viewbook, make it clearyou’re happy to chat again sometime. ey’llbe honored by the generosityyou show with yourtime and attention.If your friend is readyto learn more, please sharemy e-mail and phonenumber—or pass their name and contact informationon to me, and I’ll happily touchbase.anks for considering this vital serviceto the church, the school and the person youapproach.
