This calculator was created by Martijn B. Katan, Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences, Professor of Nutrition at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, with the help of Tom van Tilburg M.Sc. and Matthijs Luger M.Sc. of the Informatics Service of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Development was funded by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences. We created this calculator so that doctors, patients and whoever is interested in diet and health may profit from the many studies on diet and blood lipids done by scientists worldwide.
