tailieunhanh - Molecular Nutrition and Genomics

As a research scientist in the area of human nutrition, I have observed a sea change in emphasis within my field over the past 10–15 years. There have always been dynamics within the subject: During the first half of the twentieth century, scientists grappled with discovering the essential micronutrients and with characterizing the biological effects of their deficiency. This interest in “too little” was supplanted in the mid-1980s by a preoccu- pation with too much—too much fat, too much sugar, and too much obesity. Unfortunately nutritional research that looks at the relationship between dietary components and disease has often been dogged by equivocal, even contradictory research publications,. | WILEY Mark Lucock ------- n Molecular Nutrition GENOMICS Nutrition and the Ascent of Humankind Molecular Nutrition and Genomics 1807s s WILEY Ị Ị 2 007 The Wiley Bicentennial Knowledge for Generations ach generation has Its unique needs and aspirations. When Charles Wiley first opened his small printing shop in lower Manhattan in 1807 it was a generation of boundless potential searching for an identity. And we were there helping to define a new American literary tradition. Over half a century later in the midst of the Second Industrial Revolution it was a generation focused on building the future. Once again we were there supplying the critical scientific technical and engineering knowledge that helped frame the world. Throughout the 20th Century and into the new millennium nations began to reach out beyond their own borders and a new international community was born. Wiley was there expanding its operations around the world to enable a global exchange of ideas opinions and know-how. For 200 years Wiley has been an integral part of each generation s journey enabling the flow of information and understanding necessary to meet their needs and fulfill their aspirations. Today bold new technologies are changing the way we live and learn. Wiley will be there providing you the must-have knowledge you need to imagine new worlds new possibilities and new opportunities. Generations come and go but you can always count on Wiley to provide you the knowledge you need when and where you need it William J.
