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.
