Excellent Free Resource: Nutrition.gov

nutrition_gov_websiteAs the name suggests, Nutrition.gov is free service from the U.S. federal government that provides important information on nutrition. Healthy living recommendations and guidelines, especially dietary ones, seem to change constantly. Nutrition.gov does a great job of bringing together science-based research and news for the general public from “….the staff at the Food and Nutrition Information Center (FNIC) and the National Agricultural Library (NAL) in cooperation with a panel of food and nutrition expert advisers from agencies within United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).”

Nutrition.gov provides evidence-based information and makes recommendations on topics such as weight management, nutrition and health Issues, shopping, cooking & meal planning, and dietary supplements. Product warnings/recall are also posted here. For example, consumers are currently warned to immediately stop taking Hydroxycut products due to recent safety issues, including 1 death. Last, Nutrition.gov gives access to the searchable FDA nutrient database and PDF ebooks, such as the “2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.” In short, most clinicians and their patients, as well as the general public and researchers, will find this to be a great healthy-living resource.

You visit Nutrition.gov here.

Enjoy.
