This will incorporate nutrition in its current definition as principally a biological science, now including nutritional aspects of genomics. It will also create new governing and guiding principles; specify a new definition; and add social and environmental dimensions and domains.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980005000923_sec02\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A narrative review of nutrition science, its successes and achievements, and its dilemmas, paradoxes, shortcomings, dissonances and challenges.

This new broad integrated structure brings much recent and current progressive work into the centre of nutrition science, and in some ways is a renewal of the period when nutrition science had its greatest impact. It amounts to a map charting well-known and also new worlds. The new nutrition science is concerned with personal and population health, and also with planetary health \u2013 the welfare and future of the whole physical and living world of which humans are a part. In this way the discipline will make a greater contribution to the preservation, maintenance, development and sustenance of life on Earth, appropriate for the twenty-first century.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1079\/phn2005819","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,11]],"date-time":"2005-10-11T21:15:22Z","timestamp":1129065322000},"page":"673-694","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["The new nutrition science project"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Geoffrey","family":"Cannon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claus","family":"Leitzmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1368980005000923_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/PHN2005820"},{"key":"S1368980005000923_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/PHN2005767"},{"key":"S1368980005000923_ref055","volume-title":"Absolute Risk of Obesity Global Equity Research","author":"UBS","year":"2002"},{"key":"S1368980005000923_ref013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/PHN2005780"},{"key":"S1368980005000923_ref015","first-page":"783","article-title":"The Giessen Declaration","volume":"8","year":"2005","journal-title":"Public Health Nutrition"},{"key":"S1368980005000923_ref022","volume-title":"The Chemical Gatekeeper","author":"Brock","year":"1997"},{"key":"S1368980005000923_ref047","volume-title":"Food Wars.
