This volume brings together for the first time a collection of
essays, based on original research, which focus on the history of
nutrition science in Britain. Each chapter considers a different
episode in the development and application of nutritional knowledge
during the twentieth century. The topics covered include: the
chewing cult of Horace Fletcher, dietetic education, the
popularization of milk, the Dunn Nutritional Laboratory, and
wartime involvement in policy making.
The selection of essays in Nutrition in Britain provide valuable
new insights into the social processes involved in the production
and application of scientific knowledge of nutrition. This book
will be fascinating reading to historians of science or medicine,
as well as to medical sociologists, nutritionists, home economists,
health educators, food activists and anyone with a professional or
general interest in food and nutrition.
