What is Contemporary Nutrition Controversies about?

Abstract: While knowledge of nutrition needs is growing, many questions are unanswered and give rise to uncertainty about eating and its effects on health. Diet has never been more varied or safer in this country than now, yet problems keep arising, such as the effects on humans of food additives, supplements, polyunsaturates, alcohol, drugs and the interactions of foods. Sugar and dietary fiber are two outstanding controversies of the moment. Trace elements in nutrition are increasingly studied, as are megavitamin therapy, nutritional changes with age, contraception and pregnancy, nutrition for the athlete, food fads and vegetarianism. Other problems are obesity, cancer, heart disease, food safety and laetrile. Consumer education supported by responsible research is the key to solving global nutritional problems
