Description: STEP: Staff Training in Extramural Programs

Do you know that nanotechnology is being used to modify some foods you eat? This is not science fiction-- hundreds of nanofoods are on the market already. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve our food supply, making it tastier, healthier, and more nutritious. Yet little is known about how nanoparticles behave in the body or the toxic effects they could have. What is the science behind nanofoods? What are their potential benefits and risks? You may be surprised at some of the answers.
