Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c80287) has announced the addition of "Nutrition: Science and Applications" to their offering.
Nutrition: Science and Applications helps students develop the scientific understanding to support their personal and professional decisions. Using a critical thinking approach brings nutrition out of the classroom and allows students to apply the logic of science to their own nutrition concerns - both as consumers and as future scientists and health professionals.
