Founded in 2003, Food and Behaviour Research (FAB) is a registered charity dedicated to advancing scientific research into the links between nutrition and human behaviour, and to making the findings from such research available to the widest possible audience. Nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and management of many kinds of difficulties in behaviour, learning and mood. These include: Everyday difficulties in behaviour, learning or mood that can affect children and adults - at home, at school or in the workplace. Developmental conditions - such as ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and autistic spectrum disorders. Mental health conditions - such as anxiety, depression, bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder and schizophrenia. FAB is a local and international leader of scientific research and an intellectual and strategic force for improving public education and professional practice in its domain. As our name suggests, we are interested in a very broad range of issues relevant to health, education, social care and criminality in people of all age-groups; but two areas of particular interest are the effects of dietary fats on human behaviour, learning and mood, and the consequences of that for education, social care and public health policy; and the addictive characteristics of dietary sugar and the implications of that for food choice, obesity and mental health.
