What comes next: week 5

This included discussing molecules that are often described as ‘healthy’, like flavonoids and omega-3s, and a special food that can favour the healthy development of the brain: maternal milk. We also discussed topics such as the effect of fructose on our body and the brain, and the effects of specific nutritional deficiencies.

In the last week of this course, we will explore a topic that in the last ten years has received a lot of attention from scientists and from society: the the gut-brain axis and the role that the microbiome can play in it.

We hope this week has been interesting, and we look forward to seeing you in the next and final week!
