Amplifying Science-Based Nutrition Facts

Nutrition Fact Check campaign logo

With so much conflicting information about nutrition, it’s more important than ever to rely on science and evidence-based expertise.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is committed to helping sift through the noise and open more doors for practitioners to be heard by decision-makers and consumers.

The Academy's Nutrition Fact Check summarizes today's best available science and evidence on hot topics in nutrition and provides practitioners with a scientific review paper, as well as information that can be shared with patients and clients.
