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 explore how the various micro- and macronutrients are metabolized and used within the body, and how what is eaten can affect human health in different ways. 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.
