ABSTRACT
Counterfeit science has become prevalent in all areas of the sciences and it can be argued that unreliable information plagues the nutritional sciences more than most. There are several factors why most athletes and active consumers find the process of acquiring good information in this area so problematic, contradictory, and confusing: Primarily because the average athlete or active consumer gives too much credibility to the advice provided by unqualified sources. This chapter reveals the problems and value of each potential resource of nutrition science information.
