Nutrition quackery is so common that it’s easy to become fooled. For this assignment, obtain information about
a questionable nutritional product such as a nutrient supplement by performing an Internet search. Then
evaluate the claims regarding the product using reliable sites on the Internet such as the National Center for
Complementary and Integrative Health (https://nccih.nih.gov/) and the Medline Plus
(https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/herb_All.html). In 1-2 well-developed paragraphs, discuss the
product you researched. What claims were made in its advertising, and what information did you find on
credible Internet sources that refuted those claims?
