This nutrition course will help you understand the scientific basis of human nutrition, and current nutrition concepts and controversies.

Each week you’ll look at a different theme:

• The makings of a ‘healthy diet’: Which components of your diet can promote wellbeing and reduce the risk of diseases?

• Why do we eat what we eat? What are the ‘drivers’ that influence our food choices?

• Food and disease: Can you really eat your way to health?

• Nutrition fads, myths and the plain truth: Are our genes to be blamed for our current nutritional habits?
