The Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that facilitates and funds experimental research in nutrition with the goal of reducing the economic and social burden of obesity and obesity-related diseases. NuSI is founded on the premise that nutrition research for the past half century has failed to meet the scientific standards necessary to establish reliable knowledge on the relationship between diet and disease, and that this failure may be largely responsible for the current epidemics of obesity and diabetes in the United States and around the world. By addressing this issue with high-quality, rigorously-controlled experiments targeted at elucidating the diet-disease relationship, the leadership of NuSI believes that it can create strategies, nutritional guidance and policies that will successfully combat the rising tide of obesity and diabetes. NuSI was co-founded in February 2012 by Gary Taubes and Peter Attia, M.D. and is located in San Diego, CA. Funding for NuSI comes from the Laura and John Arnold Foundation, private citizens, and like-minded organizations.
