註釋Recent research on health and nutrition confirms the important role of diet in maintaining health and reducing the risk of chronic disease and reinforces the link between diet and heart disease, cancer, and obesity. While death rates for cardiovascular diseases continue to decline, health risks in other areas are increasing. Obesity is on the verge of becoming epidemic and Syndrome X (the deadly trio of insulin resistance, obesity, and hyperlipidemia) has been implicated in many chronic diseases. To explore these new developments in nutrition and health research the Royal Society of Canada sponsored a symposium in 1996 that brought together researchers from around the world. Current Perspectives on Nutrition and Health is based on that symposium.
