Most of us have read magazine articles on food and dieting while waiting in the market checkout line or while commuting. Some people obtain diet news on a regular basis by subscribing to monthly magazines. But how accurate is the food and nutrition news you read in these publications?
Some magazines have much more truthful nutrition reports than others, says The American Council on Science and Health (ACSH). The ACSH has been tracking magazine nutrition reporting for 15 years. According to their most recent findings, the highest percentage of accurate nutrition information is found in Consumer Reports, which netted a score of 95 percent.
Better Homes and Gardens scored 92 percent, while Good Housekeeping earned a 90 percent rating and Glamour followed with 89 percent. Parents magazine received 88 percent, while Health was given 87.
Both Reader's Digest and Prevention received an 86, while Woman's Day and Cooking Light both got marked as 85 percent accurate. McCall's and Redbook each earned an 83 percent rating, and Runner's World crossed the wire with 82 percent. Shape and Men's Health shared the 81 percent amount and Fitness and Mademoiselle received a 79 percent rating. The lowest ranking went to New Woman, which was evaluated as containing only 69 percent accurate information on nutrition.
