The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's web site covers a lot of useful
information. For example, there's information on that ubiquitous
nutrition/food label that appears on foods you purchase, explaining what it means and how to use it. This site
also shows how the food label helps the consumer in monitoring sodium, dealing
with diabetes, and preventing heart disease. The site also offers nutrition and
dietary guidelines and other important nutrition information.
