PBH 581 Nutrition Concepts and Controversies

This course is an introduction to the concepts and principles of nutrition. Throughout the semester, students learn the basic components of foods— macro- and micro-nutrients, their relationship to diet and disease and weight. Nutritional needs through the lifecycle are discussed with the primary disease states associated with each age group. Controversial issues, such as food supplementation, factory farming, genetically modified foods, the impact of a beef culture on the environment, and dieting are discussed along with holistic approaches to food and healing.
