What's For Dinner?
What’s For Dinner? Nancy Neithercut Food is not just a bunch of nutrients on a plate. Food is essential to our health and our lives as human beings. The enjoyment of food is a natural reaction in the brain and incorporates a cornucopia of our senses, taste sight, smell, and memory. We come together to gather, to grow and prepare food, for daily meals, for celebrations and for times of grief. We can describe our foods as containing macronutrients and micronutrients, but there are thousands of nutrients we do not classify, and only a few we measure and talk about. Nutrients are substances that our bodies need for energy, maintenance, repair, and growth. A pear on a pear tree will not have the exact nutrients as another pear on the same tree, but there are general measurements we can use. All nutrients work together and isolated nutrients should belong in the drug class as they are not natural for our bodies. There is no way to know exactly what nutrients are in your food, or how much of these your body digests in your gut, or what exactly you will absorb into your blood stream. It is impossible to know exactly how or where these nutrients are transported. However, we can use laboratory experiments and reductionist studies (add one food or class of food or take it away, and see what happens), as well as population studies to get a good idea of what is the best diet for humans to achieve optimal health and for prevention and reversal of disease. The science of nutrition is not like physics, where when you throw a ball up, it will come down. If you smoke four packs of cigarettes every day, will you get lung cancer? Maybe. Your odds are much higher than for a non smoker, but the information we have might tell you if you want to start smoking or stop, as it appears through studies in laboratories and in populations that smoking is definitely related to lung cancer.
