Nutrition research

Nutrition research is frequently presented in the news. Sometimes the information presented is vague or contradictory to other articles, so how do you know what to believe? The overarching purpose of this group of assignments is for you to investigate and think critically about how the news interprets and reports nutrition science. You may find that the news correctly reports the outcomes of a scientific article; however, you may also find that the news either misinterprets or drastically overemphasizes the size or importance of the reported results.
