It was an amazing course that allowed for me to be much more conscious of what I was eating and pushed me to strive to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Overall, it was very entertaining and informative!

Extremely interesting course. I feel the material and videos were very easy to absorb and understand. I certainly would recommend this to anyone with an interest in food and how it affects our health.

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Very Biased towards high carb vegan diets, and describes outdated information regarding saturated fats and animal protein.

Very basic information. I was disappointed because I was looking to dive past a middle school understanding of nutrition.

Not about the actual effect of food on your health, it's just a cookbook.
