Excerpt from A Summary of Current Program 7/1/64 and Preliminary Report of Progress for 7/1/63 to 6/30/64: July 1, 1964

The research reported here presents recent progress in understanding the nutritional needs of normal man and the manner by which these needs can best be met by food. The research involves studies of the absorption, transport, and metabolism.of individual nutrients in the body as related to age, activity, and environmental conditions. Studies of metabolic processes and nutritional requirements in.man are preceded, guided, and expedited by results from intensive studies on laboratory animals and lower forms of life in which all factors can be rigidly controlled and physiological responses can be measured during each stage in the life cycle and during successive generations. The research includes the nutritive and other consumer values of foods as measured by chemical or physical means and by biologic response, and the effects of household practices upon the nutritive value and inherent qualities of foods. Applications of the knowledge gained from human nutrition research influences the food habits and nutritional status of man and also market demand and the orientation of agricultural production.
