We all know we need nourishment to survive, but how much do we know about what happens to food when we eat it?
All ages are welcome and admission is free.
âWhat a lot of people donât know is your stomach is technically considered outside your body,â says Durward, USU Extension nutrition specialist and assistant professor in USUâs Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences. âWeâre going to learn about the dangerous chemicals, molecular machines and friendly bacteria that work together to break down food molecules we need and move them into our body, while keeping the dangerous stuff out.â
Refreshments and hands-on learning activities conducted by USU students and faculty and community members follow Durwardâs talk. The presentation is part of Science Unwrappedâs year-long
âFood for Thoughtâ series.
