Nourishing the Future: How Early Taste and Food Exposures Shape Diet and Health in Later Life (Attendee Collection)
This course is included in the NUTRITION 2023 On Demand Collection (Free for Registered Meeting Attendees).
How do early exposures influence the establishment of food preferences and healthy dietary behaviors? How can learnings be applied in the community and family settings? This session explores how early taste and food exposures may influence diet quality and health later in life. Our panelists aim to generate interest in this exciting area of science and explore priorities for future research.
