Thanks to increased knowledge about nutrition, many threats to
human health have been curbed. But there is much more to be
learned. This new volume identifies the most promising
opportunities for further progress in basic and clinical research
in the biological sciences, food science and technology, and public
health. The committee identifies cross-cutting themes as frameworks
for investigation and offers a history of nutrition and food
science research with nine case studies of accomplishments. The
core of the volume identifies research opportunities in areas
likely to provide the biggest payoffs in enhancing individual and
public health. The volume highlights the importance of technology
and instrumentation and covers the spectrum from the effects of
neurotransmitters on food selection to the impact of federal food
programs on public health. The book also explores the training of
nutrition and food scientists. This comprehensive resource will be
indispensable to investigators, administrators, and funding
decisionmakers in government and industry as well as faculty,
students, and interested individuals. Table of Contents FRONT
