Digital Dairy Series Webinar 6: The Food Matrix: More Than the Sum of Nutrients
It is commonly accepted that we eat foods, not nutrients; however, until recently the relationship between diet and health has focused on individual nutrients. Today, the focus is shifting toward the impact of whole foods. The food matrix is an emerging concept that looks at the physical structure of foods and the nutrients and bioactive factors within them may impact digestion, absorption and health -beyond the impact of individual nutrients. This session will provide a foundation on the food matrix concept and highlight research that suggests further exploration could impact the future of nutrition guidance.
