NUTRITION FACTS
Michael Greger, M.D.
The typical nutrition facts packaging label shows consumers a
miniscule fraction of the estimated 100,000+ biological active
constituents of food. How do you tell if it may actually help promote
health and protect against disease?
It is estimated that North Americans spend in excess of $50 billion
annually on diet products and self-help books and videos. However,
given that Western society continues to see increased obesity and other
“diseases of affluence” such as Type II diabetes, coronary heart disease
and certain forms of cancer, much of that money is being wasted. We
believe that a significant part of the problem is that individuals who
want to make the correct nutritional choices for themselves and their
families are faced with a deluge of confusing and conflicting
nutritional advice. The goal of this website is to present you with the
results of the latest in nutrition and health research, presented in a
way that is easy to understand.
NUTRITIONFACTS.ORG is a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization
brought to you by the Jesse & Julie Rasch Foundation in partnership
with Michael Greger, M.D. Dr. Greger scours the world of
nutrition-related research, as published in scientific journals, and
brings that information to you in short, easy to understand video
segments. We also provide links to the original journal articles
whenever possible so that you can source the information directly, if
you so desire. All donations to NutritionFacts.org are tax-deductible
to the fullest extent allowable by law.
