“We will be considering the diversity of the United States population,” noted Novotny. “Our goal will be to synthesize current nutrition science that will guide policy to provide food and nutrition for our diverse population.”<\/p>\n

“I am so honored to have the opportunity to participate in recommendations to positively influence the health of Americans,” said Boushey, who is also a registered dietician. “The appointment also recognizes the value of the research we do at the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Cancer Center, and 糖心视频<\/abbr> as being important for people across the United States. Our work investigating diet quality and the relationships of diet quality to health and disease will allow our research to reach a broader audience.” <\/p>\n

Novotny and Boushey will be joined by 18 other nationally recognized scientists on the independent advisory committee. They will review scientific evidence on specific nutrition and health-related topics. <\/p>\n
