Food and Nutrition Update: Nutritional Perspectives for the Quality Diet

Abstract

Emphasizes the importance of dietary intake in relation to nutritional status and health. Highlights sources of nutritional information. Issues discussed include: health foods; dietary supplements; natural extracts; probiotic foods; neutriceuticals; healthy image foods; individual nutrients; food groups and food mixtures. The key message is that foods can be grouped and sensible meal planning based around this. Mentions difficulty of translation of nutritional facts, but gives down‐to‐earth solutions. Recommends supermarket leaflets.
