Abstract
Globally, the foods we eat and their nutrients are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, making nutrition communication an essential tool for improving health outcomes and lowering healthcare costs. However, not all nutrition communication is delivered based solely on health. Given the ability of nutrition communication to influence self-perception and behavior, the accurate disclosure of financial support is fundamentally important to identify an individual's or research group's positionality and vested interest. This is seen as particularly key in nutrition science, where competing interests are high and consumer confidence in nutrition science is low.
