“To me working on nutrition and health, is not only a profession but also a passion.  I have witnessed family members, relatives, and millions of people all over the world their development, performance and health compromised, because of lack of foods and beverages that provide critically needed nutrients by every cell in our body to perform, grow, regenerate, and defend from inside and outside agents that cause diseases. That is why I have committed my life (about 40 years) working on nutrition and health to make a difference in people’s lives through foods and/or bio-actives in foods.”
