Aim: On behalf of the Max Rubner Institute, an overview of the complex topic of nutrition communication in digital media was created with a focus on approaches to promoting healthy nutrition using social media.
Methodology: systematic review (Cochrane standard)
Results: 146 reviews, plus 62 studies and reports were included and summarized in three thematic blocks: potential for behavioral change, possible uses for professionals and the influence of social media on nutrition and health. The potentials for using digital media for a healthier and more sustainable nutrition are promising in all areas, but there is a need for more use in pratice and long-term studies.
Discussion: Specialist organizations must become more active. For this purpose, recommendations for action were drawn up in eight points.
