Fast Facts for School Nutrition

Voices for Healthy Kids has a science review process in place to ensure that emerging science is correctly translated and that all materials are firmly rooted in the American Heart Association’s tradition of rigorous review. We recognize that when working on campaigns, materials are often created on a quick turn-around. In order to provide campaigns with the resources needed to run effective campaigns, Voices for Healthy Kids is pleased to share American Heart Association science-approved fast facts. This document provides facts from up-to-date studies and “fast facts” written in consumer friendly language. To reduce review time, materials developed using facts from these documents exactly as they are written will not need additional science review, which will reduce the overall product review time.
