    I loved the fact that Michael Pollan was helping in the course (because I agree 100% with everything he says). It was quite an enjoyable experience. It made me even more excited in becoming a nutritionist.

    It's basic information about food, nutrition and health. The course can help beginners in nutritional science figure out the basics and it can also help people who have never heard a thing about nutrition.

    Great quality course! Highly recommend for anyone interested in basic food and nutrition. I thought it would go into a little more depth than it did but the production quality was so amazing I didn't mind.

    I really enjoyed this online course. I could do it at my own time. Most of all it gave me a little more insight on what I have already been reading but enjoyed being tested about eating healthy and why.

    I would recommend this course to anyone interested in a better understanding of food and nutrition. I found the first two courses more difficult and realized that I failed to think about food as energy.
