The media is a major source of information for many people, and comes in multiple forms; websites, television, advertisements, social media, radio and newspaper. The trouble with obtaining nutrition news from news media is that these reporters may be relaying information on a finding before it has been fully tested.  Sometimes scientists get so excited about their findings that they leak the information to the media before it has been through rigorous review by the scientific community. It also holds true that a person should avoid taking action based on a single study - this is known as acting "impulsively", not scientifically. Developing a more critical eye for nutrition news will serve to benefit you if you are guilty of making immediate changes because of a link on your Facebook news feed. Presented by  Nicole Mastnak, Professor, School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Durham College
