1) Seek objective confirmation for the safety and efficacy of any health-related product or treatment.
2) The accepted standard is competent and reliable scientific evidence that has been published in a reputable, peer-review scientific journal. This means:
a) At least two human clinical studies conducted by different researchers independent of each other;
b) The results of the studies have undergone peer-review and been published in a scientific journal indexed by the National Institutes of Health (pubmed.com); and
c) The evidence is applicable to the substance or product when it is used as directed under the conditions for which it is being promoted.
3) Testimonials are designed to be seductive and sound convincing! They should never be the reason you decide to buy as product.
4) Don't be persuaded when the only available information is positive and it comes from a sources that benefits from the sale.
5) The ingredients in dietary supplements can interact with each other and with prescription medications. Be up front about what you are taking with the health professionals entrusted with your care.

There is an enormous assortment of nutrition and health-related material on the web. The chore is being able to sort out science-based information from the worthless -- and sometimes dangerous -- cyberjunk. The "BLONZ GUIDE" is a compilation of resources found during wanderings associated with my work, all assembled in the hope that it will help you locate the quality information you seek. My focus is to list science-reliable sites and steer clear of those that only push products, especially those of questionable scientific merit. It is all designed to help you find just about anything that's findable. Edward Blonz, Ph.D. FACN, FOS
