Welcome! The Purpose of the McCarrison Society is to assemble scientific knowledge on nutrition and health that is free from economic and political pressures, to help secure the physical and mental health of future generations. We have decided to focus on Diet for maternal & mental health, and Agriculturalizing estuary- and sea-beds.
We work to promote health by advocating sound nutrition according to the teaching of the late Sir Robert McCarrison, who believed that the most important factor in restoring health is healthy nutrition, and the Society was formed to honour him. He carried out the very first experiments to demonstrate the effect of nutrition on the epidemiology of disease.
