Nutrition Paper

Most of you have probably wanted to know more about a topic in nutrition.  This is your chance to do so.  So choose a topic that is of interest to you but the topic has to relate to nutrition.   This is a nutrition class not a health class. For example, you can discuss heart disease as long as you include nutrition and its effect on the cardiovascular system.   But you can’t do the paper on just heart disease.  You can discuss colon cancer as long as you include nutrition and its effect on getting colon cancer   But you can’t do the paper on just colon cancer.
