This is a thread for everyone. If you're new to GoaD, or to weight loss, your questions and comments are always welcome. If you're maintaining, or a long-term loser, your thoughts on the topic may be just what someone else needs to hear. If you're reading this, join in the discussion!
Today's Topic: Where do you get your food news?
The Internet is packed with information, much of it questionable, about food. A number of us have posted articles related to food and diets. What sources do you trust for reliable information about food? Google? Websites like MFP? An influencer? Someone who's touting a particular point of view about food? Other?

I generally go to well-respected sites like Mayo Clinic, National institutes of Health, Harvard, the American Dietetics Association ( eatright.org) , etc. Also well-establisshed researchers with high numbers of study participants, I avoid information from the Food Industry.1

I use the sites you list, as well. But, I will go to reputable news sites and search for articles. I always look at the source of the information and whether it has been fact checked. I have occasionally find some bad info slipping through, but most of my stuff is pretty solid.
