About This Blog

As part of our internship, each week one of us will author a post with the goal of sparking thought-provoking conversation. Think of the articles as our meals where we can all come together and take part in some table talk, discussing current nutrition research. 

You might be wondering where we get our inspiration for our posts. Well, it all starts with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), which is America’s leading organization of food and nutrition professionals. AND is committed to improving the nation's health and advancing the profession of dietetics through research, education and advocacy. Part of this commitment is a journal known as the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which is the premier source for the practice and science of food, nutrition, and dietetics. A new issue is published every month, each one containing current research articles that have been extensively reviewed. Those articles are what we interns will use as the basis of our blog posts. We hope you find these topics as interesting as we do and will participate in some friendly discussion with us and fellow readers. Feel free to answer any questions we pose, share your thoughts or stories, give tips and advice you may have, refer us and the readers to other related literature, and pose questions of your own.

We will try to respond as soon and as much as we can and answer questions to the best of our ability, using credible sources to help guide our responses. All that we ask is that we all remember the Golden Rule when commenting and keep dialogue clean... Okay, we lied; we have another favor: that you, our fellow health warriors, always stay hungry for more evidence-based nutrition information so that you may be filled with the potent knowledge that can be used to empower our communities in hopes of building a healthier tomorrow.

Thank you for stopping by,
The UCA Dietetic Interns
