What Role Do Policy and Regulation Play in Nutrition?
Government policies and regulations can have a profound impact on public nutrition. Policies such as food labeling regulations, nutritional guidelines, and subsidies for healthy foods can promote healthier eating habits. Conversely, policies that do not consider nutritional impacts can contribute to poor dietary choices and health outcomes. Epidemiologists work with policymakers to provide evidence-based recommendations that can shape effective nutrition policies and improve public health.
