"Trust is everything. In the actions of daily living. In relationships. And yes…in science. And it is also paramount in effective communication. Because communication is a two-way street, communicating effectively is not just about how information is translated and delivered but also how it is received. If food and nutrition information is not trusted, it is unlikely to be considered or acted upon. Fortunately, our recent IFIC Spotlight Survey: Americans’ Trust In Food & Nutrition Science provides some important insights on how to rebuild consumer trust."
