The goal of the Tufts Health & Nutrition Letter, a publication of Tufts Media at Tufts University , is to provide the consumer with honest, reliable, scientifically authoritative health and nutrition advice that not only can be trusted but can have a direct and often immediate effort on their health.
The content of our newsletter is based substantially from the research and expertise of the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy .

Founded in 1984, the WELLNESS LETTER has more than 350,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada (plus thousands of readers of its foreign-language editions). It has been rated No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report, the Baltimore Sun, Money Magazine, and the Washington Post, for its "brisk," "reasoned" coverage of health issues.
The WELLNESS LETTER relies on the expertise of the School of Public Health and other researchers at UC Berkeley, as well as other top scientists from around the world. It translates this leading-edge research into practical advice for daily living-at home, at work, while exercising, and in the market or health-food store.
