SURREY’S RESEARCH HAS:


Dispelled the myth that dietary cholesterol increases blood cholesterol, which has resulted in removing restrictions on egg consumption


Improved our understanding of the impact of vitamin D on bone health, in particular with research into ethnic populations


Led to changes in policy for military training and nutrition provision through our work with the MoD and Institute of Naval Medicine in Gosport


Prompted reformulation of pregnancy supplements by demonstrating the link between iodine deficiency in pregnant women and lower IQ and reading ability in their children


Proved that ‘fast’ diets such as the 5:2 diet clear fat from the blood quicker than other calorie restriction programmes, reducing an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease


WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Here are just a few of our distinguished alumni:


Surrey academic Dr Jacki Bishop, author of the original Manual of Dietetic Practice, the most widely-used textbook in its field


Professor Judy Buttriss, Director General of the British Nutrition Foundation


Professor Julie Lovegrove, Professor of Human Nutrition, University of Reading


Deciding to study nutrition and dietetics at Surrey and later to undertake a PhD are two of the best decisions I have ever made. These degrees opened doors I didn’t know existed and set the scene for a stimulating and rewarding career. I also met my husband at Surrey and established a network of life-long friends.
