The new century brings challenges and opportunities with an aging
population and the rise of food prices and health care costs.
Scientific advances are changing the way we approach and define the
scientific questions about nutrition. We can now develop molecular
and genomic approaches to human intervention. There is increased
appreciation of the important roles that food and food additives
play in human development, especially in the special circumstances
of obesity, aging, adolescence, and widespread population
migrations.
The goal of this volume is to provide a road map for scientific
endeavors in this century. Potential international collaborations
are outlined, and an analysis of how the evolving global economy
will affect the future directions of nutrition and human health is
included. Topics specifically emphasized in the book include:
Opportunities in foods for health: the role of dairy products, the
improvement of dairy products, the role of antioxidants, improving
food production, and food safetyOpportunities in foods for health
and medicine: perspectives in nutrition and human health, creating
opportunities to improve human health and nutrition, improving
immunity using foods, and human intervention and health
improvements using foods in aging, obese, and adolescent
populationsNew and innovative technologies in foods for health:
metabolomics and nutritional genomics, development of biomarkers,
and macronutrient and gene - nutrient interactions.Building
partnerships: connecting with consumers, university - industry
interactions and intellectual property management, creating
international collaborations.
