    Objective: To assess the nutritional content of the information obtained in health weeklies distributed in the surroundings of four category III hospitals in Central Lima. Methodology: The research has a mixed and cross-sectional approach. 37 copies of 4 weeklies aimed at health were purchased (My health, Natural health, Sol, medic and beauty and Health, money and love) which kept their editions on sale during the time of data collection. Result: The weeklies with the highest percentage of pages dedicated to nutrition are Mi Salud (41.67%), Salud Natural (48.6%) and those with the lowest percentage are Sol, medic y beauty (19.37%) and Salud,mone y love (18.34%). Of the 185 articles, three groups were classified that determined the validity of the information. 50% of the articles contained correct information, 46% incorrect information and 4% counterproductive information. Conclusion: This study reveals that 46% of nutrition publications contain incorrect nutritional information and 4% are called counterproductive. This indicates that editors are not applying journalistic principles and shows the importance of interdisciplinary work, between nutritionists and journalists, when it comes to population health.
