FREE Online Courses on Nutrition

I've recently been wanting to learn more about nutrition and put the above courses on my watchlist. This site by Coursera offering many free online courses. Coursera is an education company that partners with the top universities and organizations in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for FREE! This is the latest trend in education called Mass Open Online Courses (MOOC). The courses covered are in many specializations from business, law, medicine, technology to life-long learning courses such as child nutrition & cooking, public-speaking and learning how to play the guitar.

One of the courses that is interesting is Nutrition for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention by Katie Ferraro. This course covers the basics of normal nutrition for optimal health outcomes and evidence-based diets for a variety of diseases. There is an introductory video by Katie. I find Katie's website to be full of very useful information, such as "Cookies Aren't Good for You? WhoNu?" where she explains the logic behind the labelled breakdown on the ingredients in the 'healthful' cookie brand.

Learning is a life-long process, so this is a great way to expand our knowledge and get out of our comfort zones.
