Nutrition is a relatively new science that evolved from disciplines such as Chemistry  and  Physiology. Thus, a student who  intends to  know  and practice nutrition  and dietetics should not  only undertake intense learning and  training on  the different techniques that relate nutrition with  chemistry but they should also understand how nutritional processes are merged with chemistry. Further, it  i$  important to have  a clear idea of the chemistry of nutrients for a better understanding of nutrition.
