The American Society for Nutrition (ASN) strives to bring together the world’s top researchers, clinical nutritionists, and industries to advance the knowledge and application of nutrition. ASN includes over 3,000 members who apply scientific information to nutritional issues. Their website features a monthly newsletters, nutrition notes, and access to scholarly journals. Although, they do not specifically focus on fad dieting, they do offer a lot of valuable information. A journalist researching fad dieting should contact this organization because they are likely to have the most up-to-date scientific information on the topic.

KidsHealth, produced by The Nemours Foundation, is one of the largest and most-visited health information sites on the Web. They offer thousands of articles and resources developed by medical experts. The website offers three separate sections: kids, adolescents, and parent. Each section is designed specifically for their intended audience. They provide an abundance of information on topics such as healthy weight and nutrition basics. It is broken down into sections on what is most important to certain age groups. This resource would be useful for basic information. Although not focusing much on college students, it does provide some relatively valuable dieting information.
