Credible and Reliable Nutrition Sources
I would like for you to do a quick Internet search, using Google or another major search engine. Select a search term related to nutrition (science) and see what kinds of results you received. When considering a term to select, think about single words rather than phrases. In some cases your search term may contain 2 words (for example unsaturated fat). Avoid phrases like which diet will help me lose weight the fastest or top 10 foods to make me healthy. This should be presented as a typical paper (essay), so make sure to use complete paragraphs and use appropriate organization within your writing. Avoid incomplete sentences or bulleted points (except for your search term and how many results were obtained).
Please provide the following (ok to list this information):
-Your search term
-How many results you obtained
Then review some of these sources, going no further than 3 pages into the search result. CRITICALLY evaluate the websites you have selected. Please find one that you consider a reliable/credible source and one that you consider false, misleading, or non-factual. Keep in mind that when searching for credible sources you should also determine if this is something appropriate to use as a scholarly reference (to support your discussions and homework assignments). Please provide the following for BOTH the credible and non-credible choice:
-The name of the website and the link
-The author or group providing this information
-Was this a reliable/credible source? If so, how did you determine this? OR Was this a non-credible source? If so, how did you know this?

In conclusion, provide your thoughts about finding reliable information either on the Internet, TV, magazines or other media outlet. Should be at least 250 words. Check your spelling and grammar before submitting. References Required in APA format.
