Misconceptions in Nutrition, Health, and Education

The 5th International Conference on Nutrition, Health Literacy, and Education will be held on November 15, 2025, with the theme “Misconceptions in Nutrition, Health, and Education.”

Nutrition and health habits in the early stages of an individual's life can influence their preferences and practices in later stages of life. While the family plays an important role in helping individuals learn and develop healthy living and nutrition preferences and habits during infancy and early childhood, teachers, textbooks, peers and other people at school, the media, and social leaders begin to have an impact when they start school and grow up. While the environment plays a critical role in learning, it can also lead to misconceptions about concepts, principles, or processes that can hinder the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. Misconceptions about nutrition are concepts that individuals accept as true, confuse with each other, use interchangeably, are not sufficiently supported by current scientific evidence, or even contradict it. Nutrition knowledge is an important tool in combating misinformation and promoting adequate and healthy food choices. Misinformation, trends, and preferences regarding nutrition can have direct consequences that affect individuals' health. Addressing these misconceptions through education can contribute to raising healthier generations who are able to make more informed choices about nutrition. This conference aims to share knowledge and experience with the public that will contribute to protecting public health by encouraging collaboration among experts working in the fields of media and communication, technology, nutrition, health, and educational sciences to address existing misconceptions.

We are delighted to invite you to this prestigious conference, where leading experts, researchers, and professionals in the fields of nutrition, health, and education will come together to share misconceptions and proposed solutions, innovations, and advances in these areas.
