Department of Nutrition, Harvard Shool of Public Health, 2006

Welcome to the Nutrition Source, a Web site maintained by the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Aside from not smoking, the most important determinants of good health are what we eat and how active we are. The Nutrition Source is designed to get you started down the path toward the healthiest diet possible.

A lot of confusing information about nutrition gets batted about in the media and certain health circles, making it very hard to know what to eat. The Nutrition Source will cut through all that, providing clear tips for healthy eating and dispelling a few nutrition myths along the way. And you won't just find out what you should eat, but why.

At the Nutrition Source, we explore the latest science about healthy eating for adults, answering key questions:

• How helpful is the USDA's new My Pyramid "food guidance system"?   
• Should you still be concerned about fat intake?   
• Should you eat more or fewer carbohydrates?   
• What about eggs?   
• Fiber?   
• Calcium?
