Dear Ruth, Barbara   and all  the scientific community involved in Food Sciene and Nutrition,  this new has produced a great pain and sad in our heart,  I am sure Nevin is now in other dimension,  far of us, but his spirit will be with us all the time, and his legacy  in the development of Nutrition  around all the word, will continue  pruducing every year new fruits  in the development and a better healthy life to many children  in  different countries where Nevin put the first seed. 

As member of LATINFOODS I met him  in many  opportunities, , in Chile and in other countries receiving all the time  his wise  words and support.  The last time  for me was in Bangkok,   the memories I have how happy he enjoyed that  Meeting  represents  for me  an  unforgotten lesson  of life.
My message of peace for his family,.

Dear all,
 
It is with extreme sadness that we have heard that Nevin Scrimshaw passed away Friday night, just a few days after his 95th birthday. 
 
He was a legend in public health nutrition and in food composition. He was one of the founders of INFOODS and through INF he assisted many of us. He was inspiring to talk to, a visionary, a great mentor and always with a smile ...
