Food Nutrition

Food nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health, and disease of an organism. It includes the processes by which the body ingests, digests, absorbs, transports, utilizes, and excretes food substances. The study of food nutrition encompasses a wide range of topics, including macronutrients (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micronutrients (such as vitamins and minerals), dietary guidelines, food labeling, food additives, and the role of nutrition in various health conditions.
