The tantalizing potential of nanotechnology is to fabricate and combine nanoscale
approaches and building blocks to make useful tools and, ultimately, interventions for
medical science, including nutritional science, at the scale of∼ 1–100 nm. In the past few
years, tools and techniques that facilitate studies and interventions in the nanoscale range
have become widely available and have drawn widespread attention. Recently,
investigators in the food and nutrition sciences have been applying the tools of …
