Nutrition truths 'Canadian magazines accurate when it comes to nutrition Do Canadian magazines carry reliable nutrition information? The answer is yes, according to a recent survey conducted by the Ontario Dietetic Association (O.D.A.). The association conducted a qualitative analysis of nutrition articles from 77 issues of eight widely distributed Canadian magazines. All nutrition information was evaluated ac- cording to basic principles of nutrition and rated against the following criteria: - Is the source of information a Registered Professional Dietitian (R.P.Dt.) or recognized expert, with a nutrition degree from an accredited college or university? -Is the information scientifically sound and factual? -Are unrealistic claims or testimonials being made about health benefits of specific nutrients or foods? -Do published diets meet the O.D.A's "Checklist for selecting a healthy weight loss program'? Of the eight magazines reviewed, seven, received an "Excellent" rating for nutrition coverage: Canadian Liv- ing,-Chatelaine, Flare, Homemaker's, Reader's Digest, Harrowsmith and To- day's Health. "*These magazines provided nutrition information that was accurate and useful to Canadian consumers," says Eleanor Brownridge, O.D.A. presi- dent. *'The only magazine we con- sidered to be an unreliable source of nutrition information, was 'Alive'. The publication's diet-related articles were scientifically unsound and did not meet acceptable. standards. "For example, some of 'Alive's' nutrition-related articles recommend- ed such unconventional diets as an arthritis-healing program involving vitamin therapy, garlic cloves, blackstrap molasses andd brewers yeast. Another also suggested green- lipped mussel capsules as a "'cure", which is a totally false claim since there is yet no known cure for any of the more than 115 types of arthritis. "These recommendations lack scien- tific support and should not be follow- ed," Ms. Brownridge advises. **If con- sumers desire reliable advice on any aspect of diet or nutrition, they should contact a registered professional dieti- tian or their physician." A similar magazine survey con- ducted by the American Council on Science and Health gave "excellent"' ratings for nutrition coverage to Bet- ter Homes and Gardens, Glamour, Good Housekeeping, Reader's Digest, Self, Vogue and Seventeen. Magazines that did not carry reliable nutrition in- formation, according to the Council, included Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar and Prevention. For many individuals, the media is an important source of nutrition infor- mation. In a survey conducted by the Grocery Products Manufacturers of Canada in 1979, 46 percent of the par- ticipants reported they depended on magazines for dietary information. If you are unsure of an article's nutri- tion accuracy, just keep in mind the criteria used in the O.D.A magazine survey, the association advises. If the article does not measure up to O.D.A standards, or makes unrealistic pro- Regional Offices of the Ministry of Housing mises, it is best to ignore any recom- Southern Office Eastern Office Northwestern Office Southwestern Office Northern Office Central Office mendations it might include. 55 Hess St. S, 1150 Morrison Dr; 2nd Fir. 435 James St. S. 275 Dundas St., Suite 1101 1191 Lansing Ave. 4950 Yonge St., 4th Fir.
