Stanford Introduction to Food and Health

I appreciate this course, the quality of the videos, and the subject manner, however I felt that a lot of the material was drawn from an interview with Michael Pollan (why not just recommend reading his books, or seeing his wealth of documentaries on Netflix, such as "Cooked" and "In Defense of Food."

The information in the last three weeks was organized well but did not seem to be based on varied resources and scientific studies but rather on the information Michael Pollan presents in his books.

Maybe is a good idea explore more content because a lot of information is available free in the documentary "In defense of food" (Michael Pollan) also in these video lessons.

Enjoyed the interviews with Michael Pollan.

I also highly recommend reading Michael Pollan's books.

As someone who is familiar with Michael Pollan, (I'm a huge fan!

It felt like it was more for informing families struggling with nutrition than for informative education on health and food.The interview with Michael Pollan that was woven in to each lesson were the main reason to finish the course.

The other sections you could've gotten from a Michael Pollan book, or one of his documentaries.

A participação de Michael Pollan enriqueceu o curso!

I especially enjoyed the interviews with Michael Pollan.

Very interesting, useful Interesting course, with a very popular guest: Michael Pollan (Netflix, Cooked) A perfect - more scientific underlining of the documentation "Cooked".

Michael Pollan interviews are great.

A lot of the information was common sense.

A simple course filled with a lot of common sense while backing up the claims with some science.

Good refresher for those who already are familiar with common sense eating and Michael Pollan.

I learned some of the scientific terms and bodily processes behind the common sense knowledge I had.

Simple clear guidelines that follow common sense and science.

very informative, engaging , and useful It's great for basic information, but it is very common sense, a little bit of more in depth information could be added A great course to establish a fundamental understanding of positive nutrition as well as integral steps that can be taken and implemented everyday to start a meanginfu I loved this class!

I would consider the majority of the content to be common sense.

Very basic course with lots of common sense.

Nicely done, with lots of common sense.

Most of the information in this course is common sense.

Much of it is common sense (or it should be - I'm guessing it's not for most people, especially americans).

I'd say even common sense.

I'm now looking forward to further improving my knowledge on nutrition by attending another course on a similar topic.

Looking forward to see more research on the way eat !

I am eager to learn more from her and looking forward to her next course!Adriana Bonorino de Aragão Excellent information to start a healthy diet!

Looking forward to more such courses in the future!

It was amazing learning... looking forward to many more chances.

Looking forward to trying the delicious recipes.

Thank you very much for the experience and looking forward to the 1st of July.

Looking forward to more courses on these subjets.

I am now looking forward to better other peoples lives through this course.

it an amazing course with a lot of tips very usefull, i really looking forward to continue doing more courses like this The course was very useful for improving my everyday nutrition by simply introducing small changes to cooking.

looking forward to more such courses Love this course, was well design for online learning thank you professor.

Highly informative and clears many misconceptions about food.Bottom line of the course: "Avoid processed foods" Worth not just learning , but apllying in day to day life!

Very good relevant information which can be implemented in our day to day life to see effective results.

Decent explanation and really emphasis on the difficulties we face in day to day life regarding food.

nyc course ,very helpful it is helpful and aware us about what is necessary in day to day life I love this course, Maya is a tremendous teacher; she has a lot of knowledge and explains the key elements in an easy way!

Made sure to cook at home very much more useful.

Videos are very clear and very well explained... Nice animations, graphs, ... definitely a great piece of work.However, I have to say that I expected more content/theory on food and health inside our body rather than general advises on how to cook at home.

We cook at home on a regular basis, so we are in control of what we eat.

I can't agree more with the propose and solution inside this course: make time to cook at home and maximize the value of food.

I've started to take time to cook at home and even track my homemade food by using online food blog since last month.

But after this course I think I revise my findings and try to eat more healthy and cook at home.

The fact that they are empowering and encouraging people to cook at home and providing helpful guidelines and tips to help them is commendable.

Es un excelente curso que te enseña como comer saludablemente de manera sencilla.

:) Es un excelente curso introductorio, fácil de entender y con información muy útil y práctica.

Both the instructors were amazing, especially Dr. Maya Adam.

Dr. Maya Adam is extremely engaging...I also loved that she added videos/recipes that she incorporates at home to reinforce her teaching.

I really liked the teacher Dr. Maya Adam.

I love cooking too I can't wait to try your recipes Maya!

Can't wait to try them!

Can't wait to try the recipes.

It's a really good introduction to food and health in our daily lives.

It offers a clear introduction to food and health, pretty easy to understand, and the suggestions are quite feasible in our daily lives.

I was hoping for something more advanced & was a bit disappointed.

I was hoping for something a little more technical.

A lot of great information that will help me make healthier choices!

I would recommend for everyone - great tool to inform people how to make healthier choices.

It was good to see gluten free recipes but they need adapting for egg intolerance.

I was disappointed that all the recipes at the end were gluten free, even though very few people need to avoid gluten Love this course.

I really enjoyed this course - the recipes at the end are very nice, even though, gluten free is rather unnecessary, as only a very (very) small group of people actually need gluten free diets.

After all the things said, at the end the first video was about pancakes (nvm they were gluten free) good overview of the basics for people who want to improve their health (and don't realize that the standard American diet is making them sick).

Would have been nice if one week would have been dedicated to some myths, like the protein shake or gluten free diets which are very much debated.
