Every March, National Nutrition Month provides another opportunity to celebrate nutrition and activity and learn how to eat and live well. The theme this year is Nutrition: It's a Matter of Fact. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) reminds consumers focus on the total balance of foods they consume, rather than on any one food or meal. The ADA also urges consumers to dispel the myths of nutrition and focus on the facts. It's important not to be misled by all the questionable sources out there. If a product or diet has been studied only once, it does not mean there is enough evidence to prove what those selling it claim. Registered dietitians are able to sift through all the research, come to conclusions and provide guidance to consumers.
