It is very sad that a legend in Nutrition has passed away. He has been an inspiration to many of us and a beacon of light furthering the cause of nutrition all over the world specially among the developing countries. I owe it to him for providing me the opportunity to purse my research on food composition. May his soul rest in peace.
