The holidays are just around the corner. People tend to exhibit over-indulgence during Christmas and New Year. How does the body cope with all this season of merry making and festive feasting? The impact of food on the body both with human and laboratory trials are being examined by the researchers at the University of Reading- Department of Food and Nutritional Science, with the use of state-of-the-art facilities. Some of their facilities are the UK’s largest pilot food processing plant (a mini-food factory), a clinical nutrition unit, and the labs, as well as a complete model of the human gut.
