In this new world of blogging, it is easy to find someone on the internet discussing food or a food supplement and the latest medical cure. As we start the New Year, our thoughts turn to getting healthier and losing those extra pounds we gained. Social Media is packed with promised cures and many self proclaimed experts. But, how do we find out true facts. There are several clues to guide us to true information.
- Is the claim to good to be true? Does this miracle cure promise too many great things?
- What was the testing or study that proved the claims?
- Does the author have any Formal Training in Nutrition? The term nutritionist is not a regulated term and anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. Look for the term dietitian.
