Outline what you should consider when deciding whether an Internet site is a reliable source of nutrition information or not

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: If a site URL ends in "edu" or "gov" it is probably a reliable site. Likewise, if the site is not selling something or sending you to another site to make a purchase. If the people who sponsor the site are open about their credentials such as being medical doctors or Registered Dietitians, then the site is more credible. If the information on the site is current and based on medical facts and figures that have references, it is more likely reliable.
