Study Notes
Modern Nutritional Science: Key Points
- Early nutritional approaches were reductionist, focusing on single or few food items for weight reduction by balancing energy in and out.
- World War II triggered global interest in nutrition due to the need for post-war nutritional support.
- Means to improve nutrition practice include more research, data, knowledge, and policy implementation.
- Vitamin C, discovered in 1932, is significant for building collagen, connective tissues, and bones.
- The 1980s and 1990s saw a focus on nutrition's impact on chronic diseases, with limited success in managing them.
- The food industry and accountability emphasize the negative impact of advertising low nutritious foods on health.
- Not all fats are the same, leading to the concept of "double burden" with problems of low and over nutrition.
- The best foods to eat for high nutritional value are fish, nuts, fruits, vegetables, plant oils, and whole grains, while foods to limit include refined grains, sugars, and processed meats.
- Future developments in nutrition will focus on nutrient interactions, diet and microbiome, and the influence of social status on diet.
- Behavioral changes in nutrition should be encouraged not only among individuals but also by the food industry and regulators, with avenues for improvement including research, economic incentives, and standards of food labeling.
- Historical discoveries in nutrition include the role of folic acid in preventing anemia, the essential nature of Vitamin B12, and the impact of Niacin deficiency.
- Further discoveries include the essential roles of selenium, chromium, zinc, and the concept of bioavailability for microminerals and proteins, especially in children's diets.
