Course Description
Food is essential for human life. What is eaten can have a broad impact on the biological functioning of an individual, from the level of the individual to the level of the cell.

Students may also develop the skills to conduct nutritional analyses of various diets as well as the ability to use scientific evidence to critically evaluate various food fads and controversies.
