The effects of nutrients on mood and behaviour

It is a privilege and a challenge to be guest editor for this special issue of Nutrition Bulletin to mark the British Nutrition Foundation's 40th anniversary. The topic is the influence of nutrition on satiety, mood and cognitive performance. I am delighted that so many leading authorities agreed to provide papers and produced them graciously at relatively short notice. The issue appears in conjunction with an international conference in London organised by the British Nutrition Foundation, where many of the contributors are presenting. Together the conference and special issue signal the increasing professionalisation of this aspect of nutrition and its growing research base. Producing this issue was hugely facilitated by many people, including the Foundation's editorial team, the referees, and the publishing experts at Blackwell Publishing.It is a privilege and a challenge to be guest editor for this special issue of Nutrition Bulletin to mark the British Nutrition Foundation's 40th anniversary.
