AB This e-book is part of the project "Nutrition and Well-being Fact-checking for Higher Education" (NUTRIWELLB), funded by the Erasmus + Programme of the European Commission, from December 2022 to November 2024 (funding number 2022-1-ES01-KA220-HED-000089546). With the Complutense University of Madrid acting as coordinator, the other partners in the project are the University of Alcalá de Henares (Spain), NOVA University Lisbon (Portugal), Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities (ACEEU, Germany), the Center for Knowledge Management (North Macedonia) and Fondazione Comunitaria di Agrigento e Trapani (FCAT, ltaly).The aim of NUTRIWELLB is to promete fact-checking related to nutrition and well-being, to respond to the alarming increase of fake news and misinformation in these fields. Since there is no clear consensus in scientific literature or among the public about the precise definition of fake news, this e-book adopts a wide approach and attempts to address the problems deriving from a variety of factors: the overwhelming availability of information online that hinders cross-checking and assessment of the reliability of sources, misrepresentation of nutritional information, the promotion of nutritional choices for economic profit by lifestyle influencers or assumptions about nutrition and health that are present in everyday culture but rely more on faulty cause-attribution rather than on scientific findings.
