On Your Marks event
M&S’ Director of Food Andy Adcock, and Professor Janet Cade (Food Science and Nutrition), will explore the roles of researchers, manufacturers and retailers in providing a way to improve what we eat.
Sweetening the pill: The role of retailers and researchers in nutrition and health.
Britain's obesity epidemic continues to grow, and costs the NHS an estimated £5bn a year. But how well do we as consumers, understand the link between the food we eat, metabolism and genetics, and how are researchers and retailers responding to the challenge of improving the national diet?
The University’s research strengths in food and nutrition are growing our understanding of the impacts on long-term health and wellbeing, whilst our Nutrition Trials network is providing independent high quality evidence of effectiveness of dietary interventions and proof of 'on-pack' claims.
On Your Marks, is the knowledge and networking series brought to you by the University and Marks & Spencer.
