KNS 315 - Diet and Disease

The food we eat plays a major role in our well-being. Too much or too little of a nutrient present in the diet will eventually have consequences to our health over time. This course will provide students with an understanding of how diet impacts our health. Specific chronic diseases will be addressed which will require students to critically think about connections between the science of nutrition and lifestyle choices that  lead to diseases commonly found in the United States and around the world.  You will be prompted to translate your understanding of journal readings into your writing assignments and exams.
