National Academy of Sports Medicine

Within the ever-changing nutrition landscape, it becomes difficult to understand current trending topics. Without a doubt, your friends and neighbors will have questions regarding these nutrition hot topics. Most people want to know what to believe or discard from what they hear, but they often lack the tools or the knowledge (or the time) to research topics as they become popular. This course has been designed to take an in-depth approach to explain the science behind many nutrition hot topics and controversies faced by discerning readers today including organic vs. conventionally farmed foods, grass-fed, GMOs, gluten, sweeteners vs. nonnutritive sweeteners in addition to the myths behind detoxes and cleanses.
