Nutrition Science
Nestlé Infant Nutrition has a worldwide network of Nestlé scientists, researchers, nutritionists, and dietitians who bring the very latest in nutrition science to you and your patients. With the global obesity epidemic and a preponderance of unhealthy eating habits, understanding the optimal nutrition and food choice is a top priority for Nestlé Infant Nutrition. The Feeding Infants and Toddler Study (FITS), conducted by Gerber, provided, for the first time, a comprehensive look at the food and nutrient intake of children ages 4 to 24 months.
