Information Over load?- Public Health Nutrition

Information Over load?- Public Health Nutrition

I am passionate about nutrition and how human nutrition plays role in daily life. One interesting fact is that too much information is available and everyone tend to be an expert on nutrition. Few weeks back I have seen a website where you can see "myth busting"- by the way if something is already proven in human nutrition then why to write again myth busting. What myth is there to be busted? Similarly, many websites are available online providing tons of information on healthy diet, good food guide, low calorie food, high protein diet, detox diet and so on- this list will be larger than my blog post. Seriously, GOD knowns which one to follow and how to justify one system to the other. Not only websites but also video sites and private and public company sites are also involved in giving out information. My worry is ? giving away so much of information, running workshops and educating public and working hard to engage the community to live a healthy life--- seriously, where are we going? and where is it leading us to? Making a difference in individuals knowledge, perception and attitude by providing information is merely scratching the surface of healthy living and might be confusing to people who aren't trained to interpret the information or misinterpret due to previous knowledge, perception and attitude. The reason for this post is to accumulate right sources of information in one place and signpost people to reliable source which is backed by science.
