The purpose of The Nutrition Activity on Whyville is to make available to the public (especially children) information about health matters, and more specifically, matters relating to nutrition. Like a library, it includes information from a variety of sources--textbooks, standard medical and professional journals, and general information about nutritional plans that have not yet been proven safe or effective. It contains disease information, standard and alternative nutritional therapy, and general health and wellness information.

As with all libraries, the database and suggested nutritional profiles also may include information about methods that are alternatives to accepted medical practice. The system does not attempt to present a particular philosophy of nutritional wellness and does not endorse or promote any specific information presented. Information about health matters, including nutrition, change constantly as new studies are done new guidelines are promulgated.

The information you will see is not intended to be medical advice. It is general health information and does not take into account your particular health status nor is it a substitute for personal medical care. Suggested nutritional profiles will not cover every condition or profile of an individual visiting the website. Neither The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Numedeon nor any party involved in creating, producing or delivering this web site shall be liable for any damages arising out of access to or use of this web site, or any errors or omissions in the content thereof.
