As the field of utritio is movig rapidly with a icreasigly large body of literature, it is critical to have excellet up-to-date reviews ad commetaries for scietists to keep pace. Advaces i Nutritio has the uique role of publishig high quality reviews ad allowig more complex assessmets of the evidece, from cell ad molecular work to aimal models to populatio studies. By publishig reviews that cosider multiple levels of evidece, AN provides a special opportuity to explai ad iterpret recet research fidigs to help clarify differeces ad limitatios, ad to icrease the itellectual exchage ad commetary i the field of utritio.
