There is an enormous assortment of nutrition and health-related material on the web. The chore is being able to sort out science-based information from the worthless -- and sometimes dangerous -- cyberjunk. I work as scientist/journalist, writing on nutrition, foods, health and wellness and online resources are utilized in my research. The "Blonz Guide" is a compilation of sources found during my wanderings, assembled in the hope that it will help you find the quality information you seek. My focus is to list science-reliable sites and steer clear of those that only push products, especially those of questionable scientific merit. It is all designed to help you find just about anything that's findable.

Until recently, nutrition students and health professionals who were interested in analyzing the nutrient content of foods had to look up individual foods in tables, transfer the data to paper and physically add up the amounts of each nutrient. This was tedious and sometimes inaccurate. In 1996 Chris Hewes and Jim Painter, Ph.D., R.D. developed the Nutrition Analysis Tool (NAT) in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois. Chris was the sole programmer on Version 1 of NAT. By April of 1999 NATS was receiving close to 1,000,000 hits per month, representing interest from over 80 countries. In 1998 a team of developers (listed separately below) began working on Version 2, which includes more information on fast foods and specific brand name products.
