Extension Foods and Nutrition Specialists
The National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF) has collected various articles and position statements over the years. This materials relate to much of the foods and nutrition quackery issues that we hear about. The following is the most recent list of the Consumer Information Statements from the NCAHF. These statements also provide references to other materials related to the topic. Ordering information is given at the end.
From: NCAHF NEWSLETTER, September/October 1995, Vol. 18, No. 5
NCAHF Available Resource Materials (ARM) List
The sixth edition of the NCAHF ARM list itemized over 500 articles. While developing the seventh edition, it became apparent that it was no longer feasible to list every article in a single pamphlet. As a result, the NCAHF ARM list has been revised to be a catalog of consumer health information statements containing concise descriptive information along with NCAHF's insights and criticisms. Many include a bibliography. Each statement is copyrighted and dated. Attached to each consumer information statement is a list of additional available resource materials--the ARM list. Items are listed with sufficient information for people to locate original publications. NCAHF is not in the business of selling reprints per se. The purpose of the ARM list is to make readers aware of these materials so they can arm themselves against the health misinformation that sustains health fraud and quackery. The NCAHF library provides a service in which it will photocopy and mail single copies of articles listed. The difficulty with getting the new system up and running is that it takes a considerable amount of time to develop each consumer information statement. These are being done as inquiries are received and as time permits. The list will eventually contain several hundred topics. Updated lists are available upon request. Existing consumer information statements and the ARM list will be revised as information becomes known to NCAHF.
