This course taught me a lot about the components of food! Processed and non-processed food which was the best food of all. I will be happy to spread this healthy dietary ways to my family and friends!

Though It's a very (very very) basic course, it provided clear information, which acts as a kind of wake-up-call for not abusing on processed foods. I'll definitely adjust my diet based on it. Thanks!

So much outdated nutritional information! This course tarnishes the Stanford brand. Do yourself a favor, skip this course and read a book by an actual nutritional expert. Google: The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, The Starch Solution, Dr. Neal Barnard PCRM, Fiber Fueled, and so many more who had been preaching the answer since at least the 80's.
The answer is simple, eat a diet of diverse plants. I was hoping this course would delve deeper and present it in a way that made it accesible to a wide audience.
Very disappointed.

Waste of time. Didn't expect this from any university.
Basic nutritionology course looks like an advertisement for a cook book from the lecturer of this course with recipes that I would not cook for myself, not only for children (fried, flour, sweet, food of animal origin). As if this lecturer still lives in the last century and is trying to teach us to eat rightI. I can find more advanced nutritional information in youtube or instagram. Only many making, no science and health care. Wouldn't recommend!

Very basic information, great if this is your first time learning about food and health, but if you've ever read a Michael Pollin book on the subject of food, no new information. Not the sort of college class I would have expected from Stanford. The cooking videos with the gal and her kids are actually adorable, and had some cool gluten free recipes associated with them. Not sure it was worth slogging through the rest of the class for, so skip to the end.

Very subjective course. At one point they say 'don't look at the centre isles of supermarket where packaged goods are kept' and then they say 'always keep tinned fish at home?!'
I was also wondering that why a school so famous for medicine could not find a nutritionist for interview and instead had to choose a prof in journalism for discussions about nutrition ?!! So strange!

it's looks more like a very very long health commercial for american television.
Has really very little new information. It's not bad to watch it, as it might bring some understanding to eating behaviors but i watched it on 1.25 speed to go way faster through the biggest food commercial of america. Could have been so much more! Really disappointing of Stanford

This was more like a documentary than what I would call a course. I was expecting a scientific approach to the subject. Nonetheless, this "course" highlights very well the cultural gap between Europe and the US so if you are from Europe (mostly France, Italy, Spain...) don't waste your time as I just did!

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.

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.
