b5media Science and Health Channel Supports the National Nutrition Month

by ruth on March 13th, 2008

March is the National Nutrition Month, a nutrition education and information campaign created by the American Dietetic Association.

During National Nutrition Month®, the American Dietetic Association urges consumers to look beyond the myths of nutrition, focus on the facts and remember the theme for the month, Nutrition: It’s a Matter of Fact.

“It may seem difficult to figure out the most healthful eating plan, and there are many nutrition myths that people follow as the truth,” says registered dietitian and ADA spokesperson Kerry Neville. “It’s important to focus on information that is based on scientific research.”

While we are no nutritionists/dietitians, we here at the b5media Science and Health Channel support this campaign by bringing you nutrition-related entries from different angles. If you find something intriguing and think you might be able to adapt it into your lifestyle, do consult your health practitioner.

Now for the entries:
