A.
Nutrition Article Review: You will be required to select a nutrition article to review. Please be sure it is on a nutrition
topic.

Nutrition
information is everywhere in popular culture. As students of nutrition, we want
to be critical consumers of information. So, when reading a nutrition article,
we want to consider the source of the article and the quality of the
information presented.

Articles may come from journals, magazines (such as Health,
Fitness, Woman’s Day), newspapers and on-line (WebMD, etc.). Occasionally an advertisement will appear to
be an article at first glance. This is not an acceptable article for this
assignment. Please ask me if you are in doubt about your choice of a nutrition article.

Attach (scan,
email, etc.) a copy of the article (not
an advertisement) or include the
web site where I can access the article. Be sure to include the title, source, author, and publication date. Choose articles published within the last
five years.

Prepare a 1-2-page typed summary and analysis of your
nutrition article. The questions below
have been designed to help shape your summary paper. You can post your article review under the discussion
board on Blackboard. See class schedule for list of article review due dates.
