Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrients is planning a Special Issue focusing on nut consumption and human health. This Special Issue will focus on research related to all aspects of human health and the consumption of any nut, including studies of individual or mixed nuts. I invite you to submit your latest research on nut consumption and human health to this Special Issue.
Globally, research investigating the relationships between nut consumption and human health continues to be very active. Collectively, results from this body of research contributes to establishing nutrition policy and dietary guidance in many countries. This Special Issue will provide an opportunity to publish a collection of new findings to influence future policy.
All types of human studies will be considered—short-term and long-term intervention trials and epidemiological studies that focus on a variety of chronic diseases of public health concern (such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity). In addition, please consider submitting studies investigating the role of nuts in controlling existing disease, management of a healthy body weight, food intake, digestion, fermentation, and microbiome. Submissions of other emerging research areas are encouraged.
Dr. David J. Baer
Guest Editor
