Chapter 2
Evaluating Nutrition Information
Overview
In Chapter 2, students will learn how scientists generally rely on the scientific method for
nutrition research. The major types of studies are introduced, including experimental studies and
epidemiological studies. The importance of peer review is also discussed. Furthermore, students
will learn how to discern fact from fiction when considering nutrition information. Features of
unreliable sources of nutrition information and characteristics of reliable sources of nutrition
information are listed. In the final section of this chapter, students are introduced to nutrition
experts, registered dietitians, or registered dietitian nutritionists. The educational requirements
and professional credentialing of a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is discussed.

1. Have students read the Case Study in the opening of the chapter and answer the questions
that follow. After they have read the chapter, students should answer the questions again
and compare their answers to the responses provided at the end of the chapter.
2. Have students answer the Quiz Yourself questions. Students should save their responses
and answer the questions again, after they have read the chapter.
3. Assign Connect® and LearnSmart® activities for Chapter 2.
4. Have students search the Internet for a website that promotes dietary supplements or a
nutrition-related device. The site should include nutrition information. Students can use
the information in the “Fresh Tips” feature of Section 2.3 to judge the reliability of each
claim or statement. In a paper or class presentation, students should explain why the site
is or is not a reliable source of nutrition information.
5. Ask students to select a nutrition topic that is of interest to them, such as obesity,
diabetes, or taking vitamin C to prevent the common cold. Students should use the
National Library of Medicine’s PubMed website (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/)
to search for articles that relate to their topic. Students should note the number of articles
that are available concerning the topic, and read one article from a peer-reviewed journal
that was published within the past five years. Students should make a copy of the article
and analyze its information. Is it a review article or a report of a study? If the article is
about a study, did the research involve animals or humans? How many? Did the
investigators follow the steps of the scientific method? Were there controls? What were
the credentials and professional affiliations of the author(s)? Does the article reveal the
source(s) of financial support for the research?
6. Have students form groups of 5 to 7 people. Have each group develop a hypothesis that
relates to human nutrition, such as “eating sugar makes people obese,” “eating grapefruit
facilitates weight loss,” “taking vitamin B-6 supplements reduces the signs and
symptoms of PMS,” or “taking thiamin supplements protects against mosquito bites. “
Ask the students to use the scientific method shown in Figure 2.1 to design an
experimental or observational study involving human subjects that investigates their
hypothesis. The study designs should include a review of literature, number of subjects,
time frame, controls (if experimental), etc.
7. Have students search the Internet to find a website that offers nutrition information.
Students should read the information at the site and identify any “red flags” for
misinformation (see the list of characteristics in the passage called “Look for Red Flags”
in Section 2.3). Students should evaluate the quality of the information presented on the
website. In their report to the class, students should identify the URL of the site and its
sponsorship; summarize the information, including health-related claims; evaluate the site
for bias; and search the site for any disclaimers. Students are to determine whether the
site is a reliable source of nutrition information, and explain why it is or is not.

8. Have students contact a local health care facility to determine whether registered
dietitians or registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) are on the staff. After locating
dietitians, individual students or groups of students arrange to interview an RDN
concerning his or her job. Students should ask the RDN why he or she decided to major
in dietetics and what he or she likes and dislikes about the profession. Instructors can
also invite a registered dietitian or RDN to visit the class and answer questions from
students about his or her educational background and the profession of dietetics.
9. Have students read Section 2.1, “Dr. Goldberger’s Discovery.” Ask students to determine
whether Dr. Joseph Goldberger applied the scientific method in his research. What steps
did he include? Why did the scientific community largely ignore his findings when he
reported them?
10. Assign the Critical Thinking questions and Practice Test at the end of the chapter.

compare the mention in Evelyn’s Fumifugium noticed above),
refers to Vauxhall Gardens. Monconys, the French traveller
(1663), briefly describes “Les Jardins du Printemps” at Lambeth,
but it can hardly be made out whether he is alluding to the garden
called by Pepys the Old Spring Garden at Vauxhall or to the New
Spring Garden, i.e., Vauxhall Gardens (cp. Tanswell’s Lambeth, p.
181). The supposed site of the Old Spring Garden at Vauxhall (or
Lambeth) is indicated in a map in Manning and Bray’s Surrey, iii.
p. 526 (cp. Walford, vi. 340). The statement of Aubrey and Sir
John Hawkins, usually accepted by modern writers, that Sir
Samuel Morland occupied in 1675 a house on the site of Vauxhall
Gardens, is evidently erroneous (cp. Vauxhall Papers, No. 4, p.
28).

Spring Garden are rare at this period, the following advertisement
may be worth quoting:—“Lost in Fox Hall, Spring Garden, on the
29th past a little Spaniel Dog, Liver Coloured and white long Ears,
a Peak down his Forehead, a small Spot on each knee” (The
Postman, May 3–6, 1712). The pleasant walks of the Spring
Garden are referred to in 1714 in Thoresby’s Diary, ii. 215.

[323] Lockman in his Sketch of the Spring Gardens (1753?)
praises Jonathan Tyers for having reformed the morals of the
Spring Garden when he became proprietor in 1728.
[324] Several of the Vauxhall season tickets were designed for
Tyers by Hogarth. They are engraved in Nichols’s Lambeth, pl. xv.
p. 100, and in Wilkinson’s Londina lllustrata. A good though not
complete collection of Vauxhall tickets is in the British Museum,
including the series of silver tickets brought together by Mr.
Edward Hawkins. Tyers presented Hogarth as a return for his
services with a gold ticket, inscribed in perpetuam beneficii
memoriam, which was a free pass to the gardens for ever. Mrs.
Hogarth had it after her husband’s death, and in 1856 it was in the
possession of Mr. F. Gye who bought it for £20 (cp. Nightingale in
The Numismatic Chronicle, vol. xviii (1856), p. 97). In 1737 the
season tickets admitting two persons cost one guinea; in 1742
they were twenty-five shillings; in 1748, two guineas.
[325] In honour of Frederick, Tyers constructed the “Prince’s
Pavilion” at the western end of the Gardens facing the orchestra.
[326] This description is adapted from the Scots Magazine for
July 1739.

were about 1,000–1,500 in number; they afterwards greatly
exceeded this total.

[333] Further details as to the form of the Gardens may be
seen in the guides of Lockman and “Hooper.” Mr. Austin Dobson
(Eighteenth Century Vignettes, 1st series) gives the best modern
account of the Vauxhall geography.
[334] From about 1827 the entrance chiefly used by the public
was the “coach-entrance” at the corner of Kennington Lane.
[335] This has been attributed to Roubillac, but Mr. Dobson
thinks that it was probably by Henry Cheere who made such
leaden statues for gardens. The statue was cleared in 1779 of the
bushes that had grown round it, and it was still in the gardens in
1817.
[336] In 1818 it was removed to the house of Dr. Jonathan
Tyers Barrett in Duke Street, Westminster; it was described lately
(1894) as being in the possession of Mr. Alfred Littleton.

[353] In 1806 the opening of the gardens on Saturdays was
discontinued on account of the disorderly persons staying on late
into Sunday morning. From about this time the gardens were for a
long period usually open on three days of the week only.
[354] Already in 1769 an awning or other covering was placed
over one of the walks, and “covered walks” are afterwards alluded
to. The permanent colonnade was not erected till 1810.

[357] This Prince’s Gallery was burnt down in 1800.
[358] Among the curious characters of Vauxhall Gardens must
be noticed a youth named Joseph Leeming, who called himself
“the Aeriel” and “the Paragon of Perfection,” and offered himself
for inspection to artists and surgeons as a model of bodily
perfection. On 2 July, 1825, and on subsequent occasions he
mingled with the other visitors at Vauxhall and created excitement
by his extraordinary Spanish costume and by distributing three or
four hundred “Challenges” to the people in front of the orchestra.
One of these curious challenges is in my collection. It is a small
card printed with the words “The Aeriel (sic) challenges the whole
world to find a man that can in any way compete with him as
such. No.—.” (cp. Hone’s Every Day Book, i. p. 1456, ff.).
[359] An earlier balloon ascent from Vauxhall Gardens by
Garnerin in 1802 may be noted.
[360] A detailed account of the voyage is given in Monck
Mason’s Aeronautica, London, 1838.
[361] The publication came to an end on 23 August, 1841. It
consisted of sixteen parts, sixpence each. A set of these is in my
collection. Mr. H. A. Rogers, of Stroud Green, has recently
undertaken an interesting facsimile reprint of this scarce little
journal.
