Elizabeth Neige Todhunter (6 July 1901 – 1991) was a New Zealand born American nutritionist and writer. Her lectures and publications promoted interest in the history of nutrition science.
Todhunter was born on a farm at Burwood, Christchurch.[1] She was educated at the University of Otago where she obtained her M.Sc. in 1925.[1] She was a laboratory assistant to nutritionist Lillian Storms Coover at the University of Otago. She developed a life-long interest in dieting and nutrition.[1]
Todhunter co-authored her first publication with Storms in 1925.[1] The eight-page pamphlet was entitled "Vegetables as Necessities", which argued for the protective value of consuming vegetables. The authors argued that vegetables should not be restricted to dinner but also with lunch or tea dishes. In 1928, Todhunter authored her first research paper with Storms in the Journal of Home Economics.[1]
