Thinking about nutrition is a space for critical reflection on the major themes of nutrition by teachers, researchers, alumni and guests of FCNAUP .
As FCNAUP is the only public Faculty of Nutrition in Portugal, with an unparalleled accumulation of knowledge and critical mass over the last 40 years, we decided to make this knowledge available to the community through short texts based on the latest scientific evidence, in a completely independent manner and free from conflicts of interest.
This is also a space to combat misinformation. Nutritional misinformation is a major public health problem worldwide today, leading to poor dietary choices by millions of people and threatening human and planetary health. Nothing is more important than each country having a network of reliable sources of health information. Pensar Nutrição aims to be one of these information spaces based on scientific evidence, transparent and unbiased in the area of food and nutrition.
The intention is to consider nutrition through the lens of science, although the words and content written here are also the result of the experience and personal vision of the authors, each with their own unique style.
The Pensar Nutrição website is published by FCNAUP and has an Editorial Board responsible for its editing and editorial choices. The Editorial Board is composed of: Pedro Graça; Bela Franchini; Marta Azevedo, Maria João Gregório and Raul Santos.
