Nestle
Nutrition Conference
Antecedents
One of the
purposes of the Nestle Nutrition Fund is to foster scientific
research on nutrition. With that in mind, the NNF has created
the International Nestle Nutrition Conference, which aims at
stimulating the critic discussion of actual topics related with
nutrition problems in Mexico. The format of the conference comprises
a foreign lecturer, followed by a local (national) commentator,
and a general discussion. The expositions, comments, and discussions
are published in the international magazine Nutrition Reviews.
