Fuji Oil Co., Ltd. took part in Asia Pacific Clinical Nutrition Society 2013 (APCCN 2013) held in Tokyo from June 9th (Sun) to 12th (Wed).

The conference is jointly hosted by the International Union of Nutritional Science, Japanese Society of Anti-Aging Medicine, Japanese Society of Clinical Nutrition, Japan Society of Nutrition and Food Science, The Japanese Society of Nutrition and Dietetics, and Japan Society of Metabolism and Clinical Nutrition.
