Sources?

There are enough fad diets and myths regarding nutrition out there to confuse anybody! All of this information comes in the form of word-of-mouth, media, and internet sources. Our job as consumers is to assess the accuracy of the information. When you decide to research diets and products online, you will find that most of them have their own website. Websites tend to include both FAQ and testimonials that can sway anybody looking to use the product.

But who can you rely on to provide accurate answers to your questions? First suggestion, talk to a Registered Dietitian. They have studied and explored many of these myths so they can educate those who are curious and in need of help. Registered Dietitians love to help people become healthy and happy and can help you in deciding what options are best for you.

If you are looking at purchasing a book about diets or myths, check to see if they are listed as credible on the American Dietetic Association website. This awesome website can be used for many resources, but if you want to look at their "Good Nutrition Reading List" visit www.eatright.org/gnrl. You can look up information for diabetes, sports nutrition, and food facts, along with many other topics that may be of interest to you. They even have a link that will connect you to reliable nutrition sources online and in newsletters.
