Too little or too much: The case for preventive nutrition
1979
Connor, William E.
Although nutrient deficiencies are no longer common, diseases of overconsumption are prevalent. Federal research should be reoriented to find the links between diet and disease. Disagreement about prevention of overconsumption diseases exists in 4 areas: downgrading the nutrient content of the diet; application of prevention to the entire population rather than to susceptible individuals only; public cooperation and society's ability to cope with changed food habits; and lack of clinical trials for most chronic diseases. Treatment of diseases of overconsumption are based in nutritional practice, however medical specialists are not involved with dietary modalities. Therefore, clinical nutrition should be considered as a medical subspecialty, and its role should be broadened to include research on diseases of excess nutrition, definition of the limits and dangers of salt, cholesterol, saturated fat, and diagnosis and management for patients.
