What people eat and drink and how it affects health and well-being are subjects of great medical and public health interest. The public is highly invested not only in the taste of food but also in how the composition of micronutrients (minerals, vitamins, water), macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber), and contaminants (eg, pesticides, mercury, lead) in food affects their health.
