    Description
    Establishes the relationship between foods and science through the study and integration of chemistry, biology and nutrition science. The metabolism and functions and sources of nutrients will be covered in detail to correlate the role they have in promotion of health and disease prevention. The challenges that occur during the human life cycle and how nutrient needs change will be studied. Includes evaluation from a scientific perspective of current concepts, controversies, and dietary recommendations. Nutritional issues as they relate to weight maintenance, eating disorders, food labeling, food safety and special needs at various stages in the life cycle will be thoroughly examined.
