  • Title: The rise and fall of dietetics and of nutrition science, 4000 BCE-2000 CE.
    Author: Cannon G.
    Journal: Public Health Nutr; 2005 Sep; 8(6A):701-5. PubMed ID: 16236204.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To outline the history of dietetics since its beginnings in recorded history, and of nutrition science in its first phase beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and then its second phase in the second half of the twentieth century. METHOD: Three narrative overviews: of dietetics from its beginnings until after the end of the medieval and then Renaissance periods in Europe; of nutrition science in its first phase from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century until the middle of the twentieth century, with reasons for its rise; and of nutrition science in its second phase in the second half of the twentieth century, with reasons for its decline. CONCLUSIONS: In its third phase in the twenty-first century, the new nutrition science should regain much of the vision and scope of its preceding disciplines.
