Membership of Alinea Nutrition is open to anyone who has a passion for learning about nutrition, whether healthcare professionals [HCPS], students, or interested laypersons.
The emphasis on HCPs and students is, however, an effort to bridge the gap between nutrition research and practice and to ensure that HCPs are guided in evidence-based nutrition and have a resource they can trust to address the widespread misinformation regarding diet and health.
Many HCPs in practice don’t have the time to keep up to date with research, or spend as much time as they would like dissecting studies to resolve conflicting claims and information.
In addition, students studying nutrition, medicine, or other healthcare disciples often are not provided with much resources to develop their critical appraisal skills and understanding of the literature.
Many people who don’t necessarily work in this area are also becoming more interested in diet and health, yet are saturated online by nutrition misinformation and fad diets.
Thus, the overall mission of Alinea Nutrition is to provide in-depth, evidence-based analysis with clarity, making it a valuable resource for both professionals and the general public.
