STANFORD UNVERSITY’S INTRODUCTION TO FOOD AND HEALTH FREE COURSE
This course is
designed to address the challenges occasioned by the global epidemics of
obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and other predominantly diet-related diseases.
In order to address
these public health crises, the need arose to explore innovative strategies for
promoting healthful eating. There is strong evidence that global increases in
the consumption of heavily processed foods, coupled with cultural shifts away
from the preparation of food in the home, have contributed to high rates of
preventable, chronic disease.
In this course,
learners will be given the information and practical skills they need to begin
optimizing the way they eat.

This course will
shift the focus away from reductionist discussions about nutrients and move,
instead, towards practical discussions about real food and the environment in
which we consume it.
By the end of this
course, learners should have the tools they need to distinguish between foods
that will support their health and those that threaten it. In addition, we will
present a compelling rationale for a return to simple home cooking, an integral
part of our efforts to live longer, healthier lives.
