Various diseases can be prevented or postponed through increases in vitamins and minerals, a University of Nebraska Medical Center professor explained Tuesday at Hastings College.
Dr. Bruce Buehler, a professor of pediatrics and director of the Research Subject Advocacy Office at UNMC, spoke to students and community members at the Morrison-Reeves Science Center.
Current recommended daily allowances (RDA) help prevent problems from deficiencies, but aren’t sufficient to ward off other diseases that can be prevented or postponed through nutrition.
“Preventing deficiency is different from preventing or postponing disease onset,” he said.
