Introduction

In many ways, living in the age of the internet is both a blessing and a curse. One thing that comes to mind is the quick access that we have to information. Some of this information is vetted, some of it is not. It is important to be prudent when going through resources, such as studies, new articles, etc. in order to ensure that we are receiving accurate information. This is true for all types of information, including information relating to nutrition, fitness, and sports.
