Nutrition Experts On Twitter: Our Picks

It can be a wild and wooly world out there as far as Twitter is concerned -- a world in which just about anybody with access to a computer and an interest in health can deem themselves a nutrition expert.

Potential for quackery aside, Twitter can also be an invaluable resource for people interested in staying up on diet and nutrition news. Or, say, people looking for a healthy dinner recipe on the fly.

We combed the web (as well as @HuffPostHealth's own Twitter feed) to come up with a list of 20 regular Twitter users who stick primarily to diet and nutrition tweets that we think are worth checking out.

Think we missed any? Add your ideas by clicking "ADD A SLIDE" below. Or check out Sulia, which filters and constantly updates lists of Twitter experts on all manner of subjects. And as always, consult your doctor before you follow any health or fitness advice you find online.

I would add @dougkalmanphdrd and @mariespano. And a full list of health related journalists on twitter: http://muckrack.com/health/people. Okay disclaimer, Doug is my brother. But very worth following, covers sports/performance nutrition, health, diet/nutrition, industry events, etc...

I'm really honored to be included in your list. I think I'm most thrilled about your recognition of Nutrition Blog Network, a blog network of registered dietitians that I helped create. Your comments about not knowing what to trust is really the reason behind my motivation to create this network. You don't always know what's reliable. So I'm happy that more people can find Nutrition Blog Network (@nutritionblogs) to find reliable, trusted nutrition information from registered dietitians. Thanks, Janet Helm, MS, RD

The FDA? LOL

I say Mercola and the Weston Price Foundation.

All the low-fat proponent clowns are wrong.

I use "123 Get Samples" to find free samples of major brands online. Please note they update their samples every day but I just pick what ever available at that time and use them.
