A survey jointly conducted by Hong Kong Nutrition Association (HKNA), PolyU and Metropolitan University has found that over 40% of nutrition advice circulating online is scientifically misleading. Besides, nearly 40% of participants had tried at least one popular diet. Prof. Kenneth Lo Ka-hei, Assistant Professor of PolyU’s Department of Food Science and Nutrition and Internal Affairs Officer of HKNA, noted that the findings reflect Hongkongers’ growing emphasis on healthy eating and their willingness to explore different dietary approaches to improve their health.
