Nutrition Fraud
Awareness Program
The Nutrition Fraud Awareness Program strives to heighten community awareness of nutrition fraud and provide reliable information about remedies promoted for weight loss, to counter aging, enhance athletic performance, and many other health conditions. These products are often scams, and can cause serious health problems.

Promotion of false nutrition information harms society
by spreading nutrition myths and furthering common mis-
conceptions about nutrition principles. Our program aims
to minimize harm caused by use of questionable nutrition
products and services within San Bernardino County.
Our activities include:
Answer questions and provide literature
Community presentations
Maintain a private, Internet discussion group
Sponsor the Nutrition Fraud Awareness Coalition of the Inland Empire
Provide articles for newsletters and magazines
Resource for newspaper reporters, radio talk shows, and public service television
Provide information to state and local representatives
Facilitate reporting of adverse events and
unethical practice
