Click here for our past findings. Nutrition is one of today's most talked about topics. People who care about how they look and feel know that "eating right" is vital to their good health. Nutrition researchers are being challenged with many questions about food -- how the body uses it, and what the body requires. At the Western Human Nutrition Research Center (WHNRC), scientists who specialize in nutrition, exercise physiology, biochemistry and related sciences conduct experiments to answer two crucial questions: How can we determine -- quickly and accurately -- whether an individual is getting the correct amount of a particular nutrient? What amounts and what combination of nutrients do we need for good health? In addition to health-conscious consumers, other users of our research findings include physicians, nutritionists, other healthcare professionals and members of national committees responsible for setting the nation's nutrition guidelines. Results of some of our studies are highlighted below: Weight Loss, Nutrition, and Health
