Nutrition science from vitamins to molecular biology.
Nutrition is a science of great importance. Indeed, unless one studies it, one might be afraid to eat anything, in view of all the scare stories about food. Today is the age of molecular biology and above all of DNA. The human genome project will bring new understanding of genetic diseases, and many of these will be "inborn errors of metabolism," in which nutrition has an important role. The challenge of nutrition is to help provide a healthy diet for all the world.
