The Journal of Nutrition 90th Anniversary Collection

Ninety years ago, the first journal devoted entirely to the publication of research in nutritional science was born. To house The Journal of Nutrition (#JN), the American Institute of Nutrition (now the American Society for Nutrition, #ASN) also was created in 1928.

Over the course of its history, the flagship journal of ASN has evolved to encompass the broad, interdisciplinary field of nutrition that includes studies using human, animal, cell culture, and molecular models that advance our understanding of nutritional mechanisms as well as public health and epidemiologic studies relevant to human nutrition.

As a tribute to some of the landmark articles published in JN, leading nutrition researchers have written “90th Anniversary Commentaries” that highlight how these articles have advanced our basic understanding of nutrition and examine their impact on present day nutrition research. These manuscripts were among the most highly cited and were selected by the JN editors as being representative of the various fields of nutrition that have been documented by the Journal. Please enjoy these “90th Anniversary Commentaries” that are published in the October issue of The Journal of Nutrition and in a dedicated virtual issue that also includes a collection of the original articles.
-Dr. Teresa A. Davis, Editor-in-Chief
