NUTRITIONFACTS ORG INC

Whenever there is a new drug or surgical procedure, you can be assured that you or your doctor will probably hear about it because there's a corporate budget driving its promotion. But what about advances in the field of nutrition? The reason we don't
see ads on TV for broccoli is the same reason groundbreaking research on the power of foods and eating patterns to affect our health and longevity gets lost and buried in the medical literature–there's no profit motive. It may not make anyone
money, but what if our lives would profit?

Did you know there are diets proven to not only prevent and treat but reverse our #1 killer, heart disease, along with other deadly diseases such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure? Yet doctors get little if any formal nutrition training
in medical school, graduating without some of the most powerful tools available to stop the chronic diseases that remain our leading causes of death and disability.

We believe that a significant part of the problem is that individuals who want to make the correct dietary choices for themselves and their families are faced with a deluge of confusing and conflicting nutritional advice. The goal of this website
is to present you and your doctor with the results of the latest in peer-reviewed nutrition and health research, presented in a way that is easy to understand.

Everything on NutritionFacts.org is free. There is no members-only area where additional life-saving information is available—for a price. There are no advertisements of any kind allowed. We don't accept corporate sponsorships. NutritionFacts.org is strictly non-commercial. There's no line of Dr. Greger's Brand Snakeoilwondersupplements. We are not selling anything. Dr. Greger simply produces these videos as a public service for those hungry for evidence-based nutrition.

More than 10,000 articles are published in English-language medical journals every year on the subject of human nutrition. To choose which ones to make videos about he uses three main principles: novelty, practicality, and engagement. The first question he asks: Is it groundbreaking? If it's just yet another study showing broccoli is good for you, unless there's some new unique insight it probably won't make the cut. The second question: Is it practical? Can the information be used to make real-world kitchen or grocery store decisions? Who cares if there's some new whortleberry with medicinal properties if it can only be foraged wild in the tundra somewhere. Finally, is there a way to make it interesting? That's probably the greatest limiting factor. There's lots of trailblazing new science with hands-on implications, but unless Dr. Greger can find a way to make it captivating, to add humor or intrigue, or solve some mystery, the paper may sadly end up in the recycling bin.

Our organization has continued to grow larger each year by reaching more and more people each quarter with our videos, blogs and research.
