This unit explores some of the recent advances that have increased our understanding of the functional relationship between nutrients, other biologically active food constituents, and health. The theoretical basis underpinning the identification, evaluation and validation of the biological activity, and the health benefits and claims associated with 'functional' foods and 'functional' food components will be investigated, including consideration of the role of epidemiological studies, clinical trials, animal studies and mechanistic data.Assessment -- Course Website
