"In short, I discovered that an extremely crucial connection did exist and that conventional nutritional information and education were almost as flawed and unscientific as was medicine itself. Its literature has been developed primarily from questionable "research," research very often conducted as the consequence of funding from the major food processing industrial giants. This fundamental conflict of interest provided very shallow and self-serving study results for anyone interested in truly finding out what real world nutrition was all about." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"The predictable result is the general cacophony of nutritional information ringing in our ears and the widespread confusion that has come to surround this most fundamental of creaturely activities: finding something good to eat. You would not have bought this book and read this far into it if your food culture was intact and healthy. And while it is true that most of us unthinkingly place the authority of science above culture in all matters having to do with our health, that prejudice should at least be examined." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"I urge you to seek out credible nutritional information if you have a child, particularly one who has behavior problems. There has been some promising research in the area of children with ADHD and nutrition. For example, English researchers at the University of Southampton studied more than 1,800 three-year-old children, some with and some without ADHD and some with and some without allergies. The results were published in the June 2004 Archives of Diseases in Childhood." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"On the nutritional information panel, amylase has 23,000 DU, while protease has 80,000 HUT. These letters are abbreviations for assays used to measure the "active units" of the enzyme. DU stands for dextrinizing units, while HUT is an abbreviation for hemoglobin units in a tyrosine base. The reason this is necessary is because enzymes are not measured by weight, and thus a measurement in milligrams (mg) or international units (IU) would not describe the true potency of the product. Following are the three key factors to consider when determining the potency of an enzyme product. 1." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Ambassador" from the American Dietetic Association, who often attends such events and provides commentary and nutritional information to the news media. Media Activities ¦ To keep milk from being featured in news reports, we decided not to have a spokesperson at the press conference. Representatives from the GMA, NFPA, the American Dental Association and others were present and gave commentary to reporters on products other than milk, this deflected attention away from milk." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., What's In Your Milk?: An Exposé of Industry and Government Cover-Up on the Dangers of the Genetically Engineered (rBGH) Milk You're Drinking (Get the book.)

"The book's discoveries and explanations of the scenarios are not simply about Ephedra, but rather expose the entire supplement industry, the legislation that governs it, and how lobbyists, special interests, the drug companies, and media are all working together to hide the truth about nutritional information from the public. I highly recommend this book. It goes into great detail and validates everything I've been saying in my book and in my newsletters." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Medical and nutritional information seems to change as often as the celebrities on the cover of People magazine. So if there was one thing that virtually every expert actually agreed on, and continued to agree on year in and year out, decade in and decade out, that would be a very big deal, right? And worth listening to, correct? Well, there is. One thing everyone agrees on, that is. And it's this: Eat more vegetables. And while you're at it, eat some fruit." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"McDonald's proposed wall mounting] would provide all customers the nutritional information prior to consummating a purchase."18 McDonald's won that battle. Despite expressing profound distaste for the idea of menu labeling in the 1970s, McDonald's reluctantly agreed to make nutrition information available to its customers a decade later. The about-face was largely the work of reformers like Stephen Gardner, now litigation director for CSPI. In 1986 Gardner worked for the Texas attorney general's office." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"Our natural instincts also fail us when we orient our tastes toward nutritional information, time schedules, and the promises of advertisements. Since the three forces of nature (doshas) are represented in our body in a unique and individual way, each one of us has different requirements for the various nutrients contained in food. Our body is only able to utilize the nutrients of those foods that are suitable for our body type, just as certain feeds are only suitable for certain animals and not for others. Try giving a rabbit olive oil to eat, and it will get sick in no time." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"The Foundation was the world's largest clearinghouse for nutritional information for doctors, agriculturists, and homemakers. During its existence the Lee Foundation disseminated millions of pieces of literature and hundreds of thousands of books on health and nutrition. (http://www.westonaprice.org/nutritiongreats/lee.html) I found it quite interesting that Bell Telephone Laboratories sold a speed governor for $1,200, which Dr. Lee sold to them for only $3.50! Then, one thing not discussed in this article, is that over a period of 30 years, Dr." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"This does not appear to be the case, however, because we are constantly being bombarded with conflicting and flip-flopping nutritional information usually focused on one particular food or nutrient. This is due to the media's appetite for sensationalistic stories, which the food industry eagerly supplies due to its appetite for profits. The media has become entertainment in a race for ratings and a pawn for corporate and other promotional schemes. It is not a viable resource for health and nutritional information." - Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C., If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It! The No-nonsense Guide to an Eating-for-Health Lifestyle (Get the book.)

"In a speech on the day after the seizure had been made, Kenneth Milstead, Deputy Director of the FDA Bureau of Enforcement, described Lee as "probably the largest publisher of unreliable and false nutritional information in the world" (http://www.quackwatch.0rg/111nd/lee.html). If you noticed, they made it sound as though Dr. Lee was somehow a criminal, with the FDA and FTC doing their utmost to discredit all the claims he made regarding any benefits his supplements might have, and basically attempting to put him out of business. Fortunately, they were not successful." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"First, I describe an eating plan that will dramatically lower your cholesterol. This nutritional information gives you the tools you need to take control of your health. My dietary program (the scientific basis of which is explained in greater depth in my book Eat to Live) provides a formula that has helped thousands of people: • lower cholesterol; • lose weight; Dear Dr. PuMywuwv, I am one happy 68-year-old. I enjoyed relatively good health for much of my life. However, in recent years, I've struggled with high blood pressure (160/105) and high cholesterol (275)." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Cholesterol Protection for Life, New Expanded Edition (Get the book.)

"A system requiring all chain restaurants to provide nutritional information on menus and menu boards would provide a level playing field in a highly competitive industry. Myth: People already have access to nutrition labeling at restaurants. Reality: The approximately one-half of restaurants that do provide nutrition information usually do so on Web sites, which have to be accessed before leaving for the restaurant, or on hard-to-find and difficult-to-read posters or brochures in their stores." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"Although they had done their best, my parents had next to no nutritional information, and with each bite of food, they had slowly and silently been killing themselves. Refusing to go the same deadly route, fasting was the next logical step for me. I continued using my colema board as well. During that time, while I was fasting and doing colonics, Roy would walk into the apartment we shared and hold his nose. He was appalled by the stench of pesticides, so much so that he thought an exterminator had come by to spray when he was out." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"And, if enacted, the law would require nutritional information on menus of chain restaurants. All of these ideas are excellent and would certainly help rein in junk food marketing to children. It's especially appealing to address these issues at the national level because of the inefficiency of trying to pass bills state by state, not to mention one school district at a time. However, for the time being at least, the politics may be insurmountable." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.) "But unlike its larger counterparts, the burgeoning chain is committed to providing customers with nutritional information, even without being forced to do so. Co-CEO Jon Olinto admits this policy can be a challenge "no matter what kind of restaurant you are" because of all the scientific measurements required, "something that in a hectic kitchen isn't always feasible." Yet, his company ensures the data by hiring nutritionists to analyze the recipes. "As a result, we feel comfortable posting data on our menu board. In fact, it's really important to our concept." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, the mass media has become the average person's exclusive source for nutritional information. People tend to believe without question what they hear and read, not realizing that it is the food industry's savvy marketing teams, not true science that is feeding this information to the media outlets. For those of you who would like to tap into some big guns for debating this issue in an informed manner, Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition is a fabulous resource written by Marion Nestle." - Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C., If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It!

"Chapter Three, ^ level with yourself Taking Inventory & Determining Your Next Step We have been deluged with an onslaught of often conflicting nutritional information in the last few decades. As a result, many people have very different ideas about what's healthy and what's not when talking about food, while many others remain completely confused. That's one of the reasons diet plans are so popular; they lay out very clearly what to do and what not to do. The problem is, diet plans don't work over the long haul." - Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C., If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It! The No-nonsense Guide to an Eating-for-Health Lifestyle (Get the book.)

"To compound the challenging nature of the situation, there is an equally excessive amount of polarized and conflicting nutritional information we receive, both in general and with regard to specific foods.

Consult ten different books and they'll tell you ten different things. How can this be science?" - Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C., If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It!
