Fact and Fiction
????Nutrition, the oldest preventive and therapeutic science, has been a crucially important component of health and health care throughout the ages.
With common sense as a guideline, it should be relatively easy to make sound decisions regarding healthy eating. However, the information explosion in the science of food and nutrition very often creates the impression that the available information is contradictory. Confusion reigns and perspective is lacking. Indeed it is no longer easy to distinguish between fact, misinformation and fiction.
The dictum, "You are what you eat", has often become "You are what you believe you are eating".
A source of truth
The Nutrition Information Centre of the 肆客足球 of Stellenbosch (NICUS) was established in 1997 to act as a reliable and independent source of nutrition information in South Africa.
