How can we regulate food intake?

What makes some people prefer particular vegetables which can help protect the human body against stress and disease?

These questions and more will be answered in a free public lecture to take place at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.

Professor in the subject area of Dietetics, Nutrition and Biological Sciences, Isobel Davidson, will examine how our genetic determined ability to taste food influences our acceptance and liking of food. She will also discuss how our senses in the gut can monitor our energy intake and produce a state of fullness and hence influence appetite.

Part of the university’s Professorial Lecture Series, this lecture is designed to appeal to wide audience. With a science focus, this event will be of particular interest to people working in the area of health, food, nutrition and dietetics.

Professor Davidson’s lecture will take place on Tuesday 26 January at 5.30pm for 6pm at Queen Margaret University’s new campus at Craighall, Musselburgh.
