This is the entrance page to supervised literature reviews done by Beloit College students. I suggest you use the find command to search by key words. You can also see them sorted by main subject here. Most were done in connection with a biochemistry/nutrition course, Chem127. Read the disclaimer for Nutrition Investigator – these posters are not intended for medical advice, only as background to discuss with a qualified health professional. All posters have been reviewed by the Roc but may still contain errors. However, there are a lot of information and references to help you find important nutrition information.
