Optimizing Cognitive Function with Foods, Nutrients, and Dietary Patterns: The Science and the Translation
August 8, 2023
Virtual, Event
The 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) addressed several questions related to neurocognition, but was faced with “considerable variation in testing methods, inconsistent validity and reliability of cognitive testing methods, and differences between dietary patterns and cognitive outcomes examined,” precluding the ability to develop dietary recommendations. This webinar will focus on the science and translation of optimizing cognitive function with food.
