Commentary:
This site brings a wealth of nutrition information to British consumers. "Diet Through Life" points out the changing nutrition needs of babies, kids, and adults. "Nutrition & Health" posts backgrounders on topics that include nutritional supplements and the effect of diet on chronic diseases. US readers should be aware that some of the information on this site--such as food label guidelines--is specific to the UK and may differ from US recommendations.

"BNF Press Information" provides journalists with background information on current nutrition topics. Some of these documents include useful "consumer friendly" messages, but others contain technical jargon that may make them less useful to someone without a science background.
