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

该项目记录了20世纪波多黎各营养科学的历史，从大萧条时期波多黎各以营养不良著称，到战后将营养不良重新塑造为一种纯粹的生物医学状况，通过食物浓缩和补充技术治疗，直到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。这项研究将形成一篇论文，研究结果将通过在线论坛与波多黎各大学感兴趣的科学家和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.
