No detailed description available for "Proceedings of the First International Workshop Neuherberg, Federal Republic of Germany, April 1980".
Interprets scientific research on human nutrition from a holistic, evolutionary perspective. It highlights the nutritional needs of three entities that comprise a human being: the brain, other organs of the body and the intestinal microflora. The authors present original research that in their opinion justifies a conclusion that a diet which emphasizes bulk and variety based on complex carbohydrates, whole grains, vegetables, fruits and some milk or yogurt is a protective diet. They assert that such a diet allows a healthy development and functioning of the three entities; it will prevent, or speed recovery from, degenerative diseases and establish a foundation for high quality longevity.

Abstract: The nutritional implications of pregnancy and lactation are discussed. The nutritional needs of mother, fetus and breast-fed child depend on many factors, including complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Cultural traditions, eating patterns, food choices, and malnutrition of mothers have nutritional effects on the child. Nutrition of mothers and children in developing and industrialized countries are compared. Early weaning or overfeeding in infancy may have consequences for the child. The role of health care facilities and of the infant food industry in family nutrition is discussed. Planning measures to improve the nutritional status of the mother/child unit are recommended.
