The Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) medical research organization dedicated to reducing the individual, economic, and social costs of obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic diseases by improving the quality of nutrition research.
The leadership and supporters of NuSI believe that people may suffer from poor health, diabetes and obesity, not because they are making conscious decisions to eat unhealthy foods, but because the information and guidance they receive about what to eat has been poorly tested and may simply be incorrect.This is something we can change.

NuSI supports research that tests fundamental assumptions about the cause of obesity and related metabolic disorders. We believe such critical research is necessary to advance public health policy and clinical practice for the prevention and treatment of obesity beyond the status quo of the last 50 years.
Hall KD, Chen KY, Guo J, Lam YY, Leibel RL, Mayer LE, Reitman ML, Rosenbaum M, Smith SR, Walsh BT, Ravussin E. Energy expenditure and body composition changes after an isocaloric ketogenic diet in overweight and obese men.
