Nutrition- In this introductory nutrition course, students will explore the newest frontiers in nutrition and learn how to apply nutrition principles to food choices. Solidly based on science, this course will help students understand how key nutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, water, and minerals) affect health, disease, energy balance, and weight control. Students will learn how nutrition needs change from infancy to adulthood and into the later years, and students will explore such global issues as food safety, food technology, and world hunger.
