Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Nutrition quackery refers to any misleading information about nutrition and health. It is the promotion of the food products, services or its treatments claiming to provide an unproven or a false health benefit to the customer for a financial gain. These quacks are typically denoted by the “red flags”. So, the “red flags” refer any hint, a clue or a misinformation about a food product in media, marketing or through personal communication.
