Free EatRight Ontario Service

Ontario launches phone line offering nutrition and diet advice

Ontario residents with questions about healthy eating and nutrition can now seek out answers online or by telephone.

Health Promotion Minister Jim Watson has launched the free EatRight Ontario telephone service to provide what he calls credible information. Watson says the service will connect people directly with registered dieticians to discuss healthy food choices and explain diet-related health risk factors.

The toll-free number is 1-877-510-5102, and information is available online at www.ontario.ca/eatright.

Dietitians are available by phone Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The service is provided in more than 120 languages.
