Influencers on social media are growing every day. Many people receive most of their nutrition misinformation from social media, with friends and family as their second choice, and celebrities as a close third. The digital world is fueling false nutrition news and the three top sources are: Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Do the experts you are listening to have credentials in the area they are talking about? Can you find information on their background and education? Do you have a nutrition question? Go to the experts, registered dietitians at www.eatright.org. Find sound nutrition information or connect with an expert near you.
