I am working on my PhD at the University of Illinois in the US. Currently I am doing research on pictoral food guides from around the world. I am hoping you can tell me where to obtain a good copy of the Malaysia food guide (paper, JPEG, TIFF) and if there is any literature on how it was developed? Thank you.

You might want to contact Prof Dr Mohd Ismail Mohd Noor, Chairman of the Technical Working group which developed the Malaysian dietary guidelines.

Question :
I'm a student from Taylor's College. I'm doing a research project on eating disorders, mainly anorexia. I wonder if you have any extra information about this. Please email me if you do. Thank you.

Answer :
I am sorry. NSM does not provide such services to visitors to our site. I also do not have such literature. You will need to do your own literature search.
Question :
Hi, I am a student and need some information regarding nutrition values for a research that I am doing. I was wondering if I can get some contact details or phone numbers to any person whom I can contact at the society for further details.

Answer :
I think the best way to get contacts for your research project is through your department lecturers. I do not think I can simply give out the names of members of the Society to you. Get your lecturers to guide you in your work. When you mention nutrition values, I do not know nutritional values of what. Any way, there is data on nutritional value of foods on the website. You can get quite a bit of information on that.
