Who We Are

We are a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization that aims to ensure that the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans are evidence-based, to reverse chronic diseases in America.

Founded by acclaimed investigative author and science journalist Nina Teicholz, the Nutrition Coalition has thus far focused on the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the need to instill greater rigor and transparency in its scientific process. Its work has led to three groundbreaking reports by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, with numerous recommendations to improve the Guidelines process.

Mission:

We seek to educate policy makers and every-day people about the dietary options that have been demonstrated to reverse chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, obesity and more.
