The Nutrition Resource Guide helps consumers sort
through misleading, unproven, and false information
about nutrition and dietary supplements.
Although the Nutrition Resource Guide strives to provide
credible, science-based resources, inclusion on the Guide
is not a guarantee that all of the information from every
website, newsletter, and book is accurate or complete. |

Sound nutrition advice is
based on a body of research,
not a single study. Science
does not proceed by
dramatic breakthroughs;
but rather takes many small
steps building toward a
case of evidence. Due to
the complex nature of the
scientific process,
consumers are encouraged
to seek assistance from their
physician when interpreting
medical studies.
