  • Energy, macronutrients, pregnancy and lactation, growth and aging, brain nutrition, sensory systems and food palatability, the gastrointestinal system, and the cardiovascular system
  • Societal food choices, over- and undernutrition, eating disorders, dieting, foetal programming, cancer, osteoporosis, and diabetes
