SEBRELL, medical director, u. s. public health service; CHIEF, DIVISION OF PHYSIOLOGY, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH 'XTHE PHENOMENAL scientific progress in biochemistry -^ in the past few decades has opened up new vistas in the field of nutrition. The most important aspect of this progress has been our greatly increased knowledge of the chemistry of the human organism. Although we still have much to learn about the chemistry of our vital processes, enough is now known to show that, by con- trolling his nutritional environment, man can make far-reaching con- tributions to his health and welfare. Our enemies in this war have demonstrated how manipulation of the food supply can be used to weaken nations by creating condi- tions which cause malnutrition, ill health, and increasing mortality. But our knowledge of nutrition also can be used to strengthen the people of the world. If this knowledge is intelligently applied, progress toward the ideal of adequate nutrition for everyone can become one of the main roads leading to a greater degree of health and prosperity than the world has ever known. This, if attained, can be a major contribution to a permanent international peace. Since scientists possess this vital knowledge, the question is: how can scientists best play their parts in transforming the ideal into reality? Most scientists feel they have completed their work when the results of their experiments have been published in a technical journal 461.
