Today there is a glut of information out there on a range of topics dealing with food and nutrition; however, not all of it is reliable. This makes it hard to know what is true and how to make the best decision possible on the products you buy and the foods you eat.

With this in mind a series of topics have been put together that might interest you to get at the truth behind some of the stories in the news. The articles are researched using reliable information backed up by numerous studies and also give resources on where to go for more information on that particular topic. Hopefully this will give you the tools you need to make informed decisions on whatever concerns you.

If there is a topic that you are interested in but is not listed please feel free to email the Nutrition Education student coordinator Jill DeWitte at jdewitte@iastate.edu and she will be happy to look into it and pull resources together to help you in your search.
