                                While there is no single founder of food and nutrition, French chemist Antoine Lavoisier is often called the 'Father of Nutrition and Chemistry' for his groundbreaking work in the 1770s on metabolism. His experiments established the scientific foundation for understanding how food provides energy to the body.
