Evidence-Based Factsheet Assignment

Order Description You should aim to find a minimum of five good references for each factsheet. “Good” means the references are from peer-reviewed journals and evidence-based guidelines, such as those available at the databases listed below. This means that your five “good” references should NOT come from textbooks or non-peer-reviewed Internet websites/magazines. All types of research articles (such as review articles, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, epidemiological studies, cohort studies, etc.) are acceptable references as long as they are from peer-reviewed sources. **Your evidence-based factsheet should address 2 main questions: (1) What evidence is available that links the macronutrient with the disease/health outcome? Example: What evidence links dietary intake of saturated fat and cholesterol with CVD? (2) What evidence-based guidelines should the patient follow? Example: Limit foods with saturated fat to <10% total kcal and cholesterol <300 mg/d.
