title = "Examples of False and Misleading Information",
abstract = "Much false and misleading information is being continually disseminated across many areas of nutrition. This chapter presents some illustrative examples of the problem. The examples include a TV show by Dr. Oz, unscientific weight-loss treatments, diet and exercise programs that are based on a person{\textquoteright}s blood group, and the prevention and treatment of disease based on detoxification. There are many training programs that claim to provide training in nutrition but lack scientific credibility. This chapter also examines the problems created when food companies exert improper influence over scientific research and the closely related problem of conflict of interest in research.",
