Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 42, Issue 2
Over 150 scientists and key opinion leaders gathered at the Nestlé Research Centre in October 2011 for the 8th Nestlé International Nutrition Symposium.
During this symposium, the invited speakers and audience discussed the challenging topic of the increasing incidence of chronic inflammatory disorders and allergy/asthma. These disorders are widely recognised as the result of a combination of environmental and individual risk factors, constituting a very significant health burden worldwide. Leading experts and key opinion leaders from around the world gathered to discuss advances in systemic and mucosal immunity, allergy, inflammation and the role of specific nutrients in circumstances of immune suppression and inflammation.
