Dissertation Research: Chemical, microbiological and biological evaluation of nutritional deficiencies

这个项目记录了波多黎各营养科学在20世纪的历史，从大萧条时期，该岛以营养不良而闻名，到战后将营养不良重新定义为一种专门的生物医学疾病，需要通过食物浓缩和补充技术来治疗，再到20世纪60年代，波多黎各医学院生物化学和营养系进行的一项调查确定肥胖已成为一个全国性问题。这项研究将产生一篇论文，结果将与波多黎各大学感兴趣的科学家分享，并通过在线论坛向波多黎各更广泛的受众分享。

This project documents the history of nutrition science in Puerto Rico in the twentieth century from the Great Depression when the island was known for its malnutrition, through the post war recasting of malnutrition as an exclusively biomedical condition to be treated by food enrichment and supplementation technologies, to the 1960s when a survey conducted by the Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition at Puerto Rico's School of Medicine determined that obesity had become a national problem. The research will result in a dissertation and results will be shared with interested scientists at the University of Puerto Rico and to a broader audience in Puerto Rico via online forums.
