Science and Our Food Supply: Examining Dietary Supplements
Program Description
Science and Our Food Supply: Exploring Dietary Supplements was developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Millions of Americans take dietary supplements, and that number continues to rise. However, dietary supplement labeling can be confusing or misleading. Teens are particularly vulnerable targets for misunderstanding what dietary supplements are and are often unaware of the potential benefits and adverse effects they can have on their bodies. This curriculum is designed to empower students to evaluate the accuracy and credibility of information they see and hear about dietary supplements.
As dietary supplements attract interest among American teenagers who are struggling with perceived or real weight issues, or striving to enhance their sports performance or overall appearance, it is important that students have the right educational tools to help them understand whether to use a particular dietary supplement. The content and activities in Science and Our Food Supply: Examining Dietary Supplements are designed to intrigue and stimulate student curiosity and help them to make healthy decisions.
