Nutrition is a key determinant of health, and the dissemination of reliable nutrition information to consumers is of great importance for public health. Especially with the rise of digital communication technologies and the wide-spread online misinformation, the provision of qualitative science-based information related to diet is of great importance. The NutritionFacts.org has been established as a prominent online source of evidence-based nutrition information. In this work we aimed to investigate the use of the associated hashtag #NutritionFacts on X (formerly Twitter) over a 5 years period, from 10th of April 2018 to 10th of April 2023. The conducted analysis with the use of Symplur Signals revealed that 18,998 tweets mentioning #NutritionFacts were posted by 6,136 X users, generating a total of 50,348,223 impressions (views). Both institutional and individual accounts were broadly participating in the dissemination of #NutritionFacts tweets, and the user location profiling indicated wide international engagement with the hashtag. This work indicates that #NutritionFacts has been established as an important hashtag utilized on X for the dissemination of evidence-based information related to nutrition.
营养是健康的关键决定因素，向消费者传播可靠的营养信息对公众健康非常重要。特别是随着数字通信技术的兴起和广泛存在的网络错误信息，提供与饮食相关的定性基于科学的信息非常重要。NutritionFacts.org 已成为一个重要的在线循证营养信息来源。在这项工作中，我们旨在调查在 5 年期间（2018 年 4 月 10 日至 2023 年 4 月 10 日），在 X 上（前身为 Twitter）使用相关主题标签 #NutritionFacts 的情况。使用 Symplur Signals 进行的分析表明，有 6136 个 X 用户发布了提及 #NutritionFacts 的 18998 条推文，总共产生了 50348223 次印象（浏览量）。机构和个人帐户都广泛参与了 #NutritionFacts 推文的传播，用户位置分析表明该主题标签在国际上得到了广泛关注。这项工作表明，#NutritionFacts 已成为 X 上用于传播与营养相关的循证信息的重要标签。
