Every day, multiple times a day, we make choices about the food we eat. We also often see blanket statements in the media about how certain foods, food sources, or preparation methods are very good or very bad for you. Where is the truth in these claims? Which should we attend to and which can we ignore? Through mini-lectures, interactive class activities, and discussions, you?ll come to understand the science behind current controversies in food science.
Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
