GREAT DEBATES IN NUTRITION

Many areas within nutrition science are sources of major controversy. Recently, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition launched a new section to provide a venue for vigorous, timely, scholarly, and collegial discourse on hot topics in nutrition, especially those with direct translation to clinical care and public health. Visit nutrition.link/Great-Debates to review recently published debates:

 

* Public health guidelines should recommend reducing saturated fat consumption as much as possible (includes published articles and a recorded debate from NUTRITION 2020 LIVE ONLINE).

 

* Should children and adults avoid consuming animal products to reduce risk for chronic disease?

 

 

The next Great Debate in Nutrition will focus on the concept of food addiction.
