Survey shows where consumers get their nutrition info

According to an American Dietetic Association survey, consumers typically learn about nutrition through television. Running a very close second was the internet. ADA experts warn that as the media diverges from traditional print to internet, it is crucial that consumers differentiate between a nutritionally sound website and a fraudulent one.

Steve - sad, but true. It is shocking how much time we spend dispelling myths spawned from TV and internet. The biggest problem with getting one's information this way is that it is "one-size-fits-all." Dr. Oz is not speaking to you as an individual. He is speaking as if every person watching has the same needs. Television and the internet are great resources for people who already understand their individual nutritional needs from seeing a professional. This way, they can keep up with new developments, warnings, and continue to achieve or maintain optimal health.
