A survey conducted by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), in collaboration with the Hong Kong Nutrition Association (HKNA) and the Hong Kong Metropolitan University, has revealed that more than 40% of online nutrition-related advice lacks scientific credibility. Additionally, the research found that close to 40% of respondents had followed at least one fad diet.
Prof. Kenneth LO Ka-hei, Member of the Research Institute for Future Food (RiFood) and the Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA), Assistant Professor in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition of PolyU, and Internal Affairs Officer of HKNA, emphasized that the results underscore the increasing focus among Hong Kong residents on healthier eating habits and their willingness to explore various dietary strategies to enhance their well-being.
