24 Jul 2015 --- DSM’s new article, which suggests that nutrient density can be used as a tool to help break the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition and obesity, has been published in the human nutrition journal Nutrients. The paper follows a workshop held at the University Medical Center in Groningen, where experts discussed the nutritional situation of the general population and the role that diet plays during critical periods of life, when the body is most susceptible to changes that increase the risk of developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
