Nutritionists' views on nutrition.
The gathering of nutrition workers from many parts of the world at the XIII International congress of Nutrition (Brighton, UK, 1985) offered a unique opportunity to survey their views about the theory, practical guidelines and methods of application used in their work. The following paper is a report on the responses to a questionnaire distributed to the participants. The results are given in terms of option percentages given by the various groups analysed. The material is presented under nine very general headings of: background of respondents; nutrition as a subject; research; use of 'tools' in applied nutrition; nutrition in disease; over- and under-nutrition; education; nutrition and the public; and manufactured foods. Presented is a summary of the choices made by 387 respondents.
