Nutrition Links

Pat Brown

Here is a list of URLs for nutrition related web sites. This list is by no means complete or comprehensive, but should introduce you to a variety of sites. If you find a site that is no longer active or has changed its URL, please notify me by email at pbrown@cuesta.edu I do not necessarily endorse these sites, although some are very reliable. They are listed to stimulate your exploration of the world of nutrition. The links are arranged by topics in the textbook.

If you are new to the Internet: Be aware that addresses on the Internet are constantly changing. These addresses were current when posted, but may have changed by the time you read this. Usually when you try an old address it will automatically forward you to the new site; be sure to save or mark the new address. Occasionally you will get a message that the host site cannot be located; try that site at another time. Many sites have links to other sites that are related to the topic; it can be very interesting to pursue these links. On campus, computers with Internet access are available in Cuesta's Library and the High Tech Center
