This started off being quite fun and informative, then just turned into an advert for Grokker, Michael Pollan's books and Maya's gluten-free books and videos. Add in the outrageous misinformation about non-organic foods being "pesticide laden" and it reduces to the level of a well orchestrated farce.

I was expecting much more from a Stanford or Coursera course. Lack of scientific evidence .Processed foods have become an easy villain among many people and the idea that processed foods are dangerous to our health and the responsible for all our problems is a mistake. Very disappointing.

The course is outdated. The first reviews about it date back to 2016 and in my opinion even then it was superficial and irrelevant. If you are looking for some deep knowledge, then you should not watch this course.I recommend checking course reviews before signing up for any of them.

Outdated nutrition advice throughout the whole course. They are pushing the same old "whole foods", "whole grain" WHO approved nonsense. Fill your plate half full with vegetables and add, and I quote, "very little protein and fats" is their advice. Very low quality for Stanford.

Não façam. O certificado vem com um belo "sem créditos autorizados pela stanford" estampado, além de, apesar de toda propagando com numero de horas antes de iniciar o curso, isso tb nao vir no diploma. Uma bela de uma propaganda enganosa. Tentando um reebolso ja!

Курс оказался очень низким по уровню предоставленных знаний. В стране, где я живу, у каждого есть кухня и никого не нужно учить готовить элементарную еду. Что вредно есть транс-жиры и так давно всем понятно. Ничего полезного я для себя не извлекла.

Truly disappointed in this course and upset I spent the money to get the certificate of completion. The only module that was informative was the macro + metabolism. I would have rather preferred a course in depth from Michael Pollan himself.

I DONT LIKE THE CONTENT , IS REPETING WHAT WEE HAVE IN SOCIAL MEDIA , NOTHING NEW ,BUT WHAT IS MORE SERIOUS IS WHEN THEY RECOMEND YOU TO HAVE WHITE SUGER IN YOUR KITCHEN AS "MUST' INGREDIENT , CRAZY . I WANT MY MONEY BACK

This course has no interesting information and does not go into details. All the information given is quite vague and to be found easy on the internet if you are interested in the topic.

This is not a course - this is a 90 minutes lecture.

The idea is greate. But this lecture is only start. Its very brief and not profound.

This more advices and not scientifically oriented.

an entire classist and fatphobic misunderstanding of nutrition and science to shame americans instead through fear of disease instead of knowledge and empowerment. gross, honestly.

This course offers very little substance; very superficial and shallow treatment of the subject. Only a complete novice to the idea of eating well would learn much of value here.

The content is very basic and easily accessed via youtube, which is fine if the course is being offered for free. Having this as a paid course is not worth the money at all.

If you kindly offer me a free certificate, than I rate 4 stars for your short course Stanford Introduction to Food and Health. So you win I win. Fair. Million thanks.

Interview with Michael Pollan is 3 minute sections. Nothing intriguing or helpful for anyone with a basic knowledge of food and a tendency to not eat junk food.

It is very basic and the principles are for a third-grader. After all the things said, at the end the first video was about pancakes (nvm they were gluten free)

This course was very disappointing and with extremely simple and basic information. It's eating and nutrition for those who have no knowledge about it at all.

This was a very basic course on nutrition. If you have any knowledge on basic nutrition, cooking, and eating this is not the course for you.

Way too short and far too easy. The videos do not need watching to complete quizzes. This is the most common sense approach to nutrition.

Really poor. It of course depends on the level you are at. But this is aimed for an absolute beginner. Really disappointed. Waste of time

Well, this course definetely has a clear message and a good purpose. However, it is very basic and coursera might not the right platform.

I am a scientist and I prefer advice from primary sources rather than journalists who give no citations.

Besides, the course is trivial.

You do not need to take the course to know about healthy eating. Complete waste of time. Finished in less than 30 minutes altogether.

I feel dumber for having taken this course. I was looking for courses in Food Science, and ended up up with a home-ec class.

Very Biased towards high carb vegan diets, and describes outdated information regarding saturated fats and animal protein.
