Introducing NutritionFacts.org

The typical nutrition facts packaging label shows consumers a miniscule fraction of the estimated 100,000+ biological active constituents of food. How do you tell if it may actually help promote health and protect against disease?

NutritionFacts.org was born out of a collaboration with Dr. Michael Greger a physician who is a leading expert on the impacts of nutrition on disease and disease prevention.  He scours the world’s peer-reviewed, nutrition-focused, scientific literature for nuggets that he shares through short easy-to-understand videos.  The Foundation is very proud of being able to help bring Dr. Greger’s work to a much broader audience through the magic of the Internet; arming people with the information they need to lead healthier lives.

NUTRITIONFACTS.ORG is a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization brought to you by the Jesse & Julie Rasch Foundation in partnership with Michael Greger, M.D. Dr. Greger scours the world of nutrition-related research, as published in scientific journals, and brings that information to you in short, easy to understand video segments. We also provide links to the original journal articles whenever possible so that you can source the information directly, if you so desire. All donations to NutritionFacts.org are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
