The International Lecithin and Phospholipid Society (ILPS) announced this week the 8th International Congress on Phospholipids, to be held in Vienna, Austria on 7-10 September 2002.

The congress will focus on the nutritional biochemistry of phospholipids in four areas: Cardiovascular disease and heart health; infant nutrition and phospholipid requirements; choline phospholipid nutrition in muscular activity; phospholipid metabolism and brain function.

Twenty key speakers will present papers on the latest research into the nutritional biochemistry of phospholipids.

ILPS is a non-profit-making organisation under US law, and promotes all aspects of the use of phospholipids. The organisation establishes and validates analytical methods, advises academic, industry and regulatory institutions, and sponsors seminars.
