Children's growth, development and health potentials are dependent on the nutrient quantity and quality of their diet, yet many children's diets are not optimal. This book reviews key topics in this area. Part 1 focuses on pre-adult nutrition and health, with chapters on children's dietary needs, childhood obesity and the links between diet, behavior and cognition in children. Following chapters review children's food choices, with discussion of the effects of food promotion on food preferences and the effective design of interventions to improve children's food choices. Consumer testing of food products using children is also covered at the end of the volume.
