If these wider areas of advice are followed, then specific traditional nutritional intervention may only be needed for individual situations of illness or deficiency.

The connection between nutrition and health has weakened however. Good health became the norm in the developed world through increased understanding of communicable diseases, micro-organisms and how to fight them with antibiotics, and other health developments. A hidden epidemic gradually emerged in the post World War II years, where non-communicable endemic illnesses began to flourish, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity.

Many nutritionists ascribe this to excess of refined carbohydrates, decreasing levels of exercise, fewer vegetables and fruit and the wrong types of fat in our diet. Others feel that governments and the food industry have not yet recognised or acted upon this insight. Fast food restaurants are spreading around the world, and Westernisation has unfortunately brought the "diseases of civilisation" with it. A reaction to this has been the development of a slow food trend. This has now got its own University, at the University of Pollenzo in Piedmont, Italy, whose goal is to promote awareness of good food and health through nutrition.
