On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2013 Joint Symposium "Can Foods Change Your Health?" to be held at the Postgraduate Education Centre, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, Hong Kong.

The Symposium is organized by the Centre for Nutritional Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Food Safety and Technology Research Centre of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The Symposium is designed to appeal to healthcare professionals, policy administrators and representatives from the food industry in the aspects of medicine, nutrition, food science and public health. On top of our government officials in Hong Kong, speakers will also include distinguished scholars from China, Singapore, USA and UK, covering topics relating to dietary reference intakes development in China and US; dietary salt, health and policy; lipids and human health; update on prebiotics and glycemic index development, health impacts and weight management.

This will be a great opportunity for all of you to acquire the latest information on the above areas, helping all of us to put those evidence based findings into public health actions to promote healthy lifestyle in the society.
