Most people have a vague sense that a connection exists between food and health. Many high school graduates can tell you that a person with a low iodine content in their diet will develop goiter, or someone going without vitamin C will contract scurvy.

Part of the role of the RFC is to uncover that iceberg by publishing as much research and documentation on this multi-dimensional relationship as we can get our dirty-farmers' hands on.
