N2  - Epidemiological studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that nutrition and nutritional habits may play a critical role in the optimal functioning of biological systems from conception to old age. Epidemiological studies, due to their methodology, can only provide correlations between consumption of nutrient(s) and biological outcomes, whereas RCTs normally study just one dose of a certain nutrient. Both study types are therefore ill-suited to study the mechanisms by which nutrients exert their benefits. Moreover, the nutrients’ functions may depend on each other. For example, B-vitamins’ functions are known to be interdependent. While the exact mechanisms are unclear, the course and severity of conditions such as obesity, cellular aging, cancer, and neurological disorders can be affected by nutritional approaches. Thus, food and nutrition play an intimate and inextricable role in human health. Despite growing interest in adequate nutrition, the effects of nutrient interaction, the possible varying effects on different organs, and the dependency of such effects on age or health status are complicated topics that deserve careful examination. ...
