Through a series of major reviews by influential scientists from Britain and elsewhere, this book details the contribution nutrition research has made and continues to make to the health of humans and animals. The volume has been prepared on the Golden Jubilee of the Nutrition Society and celebrates fifty years of nutrition research. Here the reader will find state-of-the-art chapters on energy and the major nutrients, including vitamins and trace minerals, and their influence on reproduction, lactation, growth, and development. Research on malnutrition in the developing world and in Germany in the 1940s together with successful feeding of the British people during the Second World War are discussed. The volume also surveys the impact of diet on human health today and the opportunities for further reducing the risk of major chronic disease.
