Research Brief Builds Case for Affordable Good Nutrition

The Center for Public Health Nutrition’s March 2009 research brief builds a case for affordable good nutrition as the theme of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Recognizing that rising food costs are a problem, the report demonstrates how nutrient profiling and new diet optimization techniques can help consumers identify nutrient-rich foods that are affordable, good tasting, and part of the mainstream American diet.
