Where would you go for sound nutritional advice? Maybe one of the following…
- a social influencer who is promoting a particular product?
- a friend has mentioned something that was really working for them and suggests you give it a try?
- a report in a magazine is covering a study extolling the virtues of a ‘super food’?
Here are some things to be mindful of, or to question, before you commit to that advice…
- social influencers often partner with brands to promote their products, making money in the process
- do you know if the source of your friend’s information is reliable
- be skeptical where claims of research amount to a single study, an unpublished study or study published in an untrusted source
If you are looking for ways to improve or change your diet you are likely to find an unprecedented amount of misleading, inaccurate or downright false information readily available on the internet.
