Scientific Advisory Team
The Robert H. Lustig Research Foundation supports a Scientific Advisory Team (SAT) commissioned to inform and empower the development of best in class (nourishing, delicious, affordable, commercially viable) food and beverages that support metabolic well-being. The SAT is comprised of leading experts in the fields of metabolic health and nutrition, medicine, research, food data science, public health education, and consumer advocacy. The efforts of this team, working on behalf of KDD are featured on the United Nations Food System Summits Dialogues website: https://summitdialogues.org/dialogue/36661/. The SAT is in the process of writing a peer review methods paper, abstract, and academic presentation that will be featured at an international symposium on metabolic health and nutrition in June of 2022: https://www.swedish.org/for-health-professionals/cme/conferences/metabolic-health.
