For this assignment, you will be searching for fraudulent nutrition claims in a variety of locations. You may choose to surf the Internet, looking for vitamins or other nutrition products that seem suspicious to you. Or, you may review a publication instead of an actual product if you wish. Other potential sources include a health food store where nutritional products are sold, or a bookstore selling nutrition quackery publications. You can consider such products as: Metabolife, Ephedra, Noni Juice, Juice Plus supplements, etc. just to give you some ideas of the types of products out there. Be sure to look for unbiased reviews of these products from credible individuals or organizations.
I would prefer that you NOT review a diet or a vitamin supplement, since you will be doing that in a later assignment. If you have any questions about the product you’d like to review.

Once you’ve selected your item, you will research it and then write a paper explaining why you think it represents nutrition quackery. What kind of claims does this product/publication make? Do they sound reasonable? What is the price of the product/publication? Are there any disclaimers or warnings? Is there any scientific backing of this product? What are the credentials of the people behind the product or publication? Would you feel comfortable using this product (or following the advice of the publication) yourself?
Highlight 1 in your textbook lists red flags of quackery that you might recognize in your selected item to review. I will be looking for at least 2 of these red flags of quackery described in your paper.
Remember to provide references with your paper. At least one of them should be unbiased. Please use APA style for your citations.
