The media's interest in nutrition has also shifted more toward the subject of functional foods, meaning foods that claim to have specific health benefits. The international Food Information Council (IFIC) recently conducted a media analysis that offered some interesting results. News stories about vitamin and mineral intake, antioxidants, and specific functional foods accounted for 12% of all media discussions about diet, nutrition, and food safety. The other topics reported on most often were biotechnology (12%), disease prevention (9%), and food-borne illness (8%). Also, news stories about fat have shifed from a focus on low-fat foods to how certain types of fat such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can have health benefits.
