    About the Project:
     
     

      Herbs have been used for centuries to combat human health problems.  Do they work, and if so, which ones and how much should be used?  A conference will be organized for dietitians, nutritionists and others interested in using herbs and herbal supplements.  The conference will help develop links among plant scientists, industry, higher education and consumers.  The goal is greater understanding of the role of herbal supplements in the diet, encouraging linkages between University of Nebraska Medical Center and UNL nutritionists and horticulturists.  Materials developed will be used in Human Nutrition and Dietetics and continuing education classes for registered dietitians.
