The Foundation Diet and Health Switzerland is a Swiss non-profit in the fields of Education and Healthcare.[1] Other noted areas of focus are Health and Advice and Support, such as Addiction Counseling.[2] Established in 2014 and headquartered in Meggen-Lucerne, Switzerland, the non-profit was founded by Ernst Erb, an advocate for plant-based nutrition for 45 years.[3] The foundation’s stated mission and purpose is the “development and publication of information on the subject of health with a focus on healthy nutrition.”[4]

The foundation operates through its online platform, diet-health.info,[5] where it provides information about nutritional facts, citing scientific sources. Central to its work are comprehensive ingredient descriptions and content related to vegan diets.

History and Activities[edit]

Officially registered in the commercial register of the Canton of Lucerne in April 2014 as the non-profit "Stiftung G+E, Gesundheit und Ernährung," the foundation underwent a name change to "Stiftung Gesundheit und Ernährung Schweiz" in January 2018.[4] The non-profit, identified under CH-100.7.97955-3, and UID CHE-407.149.898, operates under state supervisory authority and holds tax-exempt status through Central Switzerland BVG and Foundation Supervision (ZBSA).[5][6]

Additionally, the non-profit extends its reach through the project Rohkost.ch, a Swiss platform “committed to providing neutral and independent knowledge on the subject of healthy nutrition and raw food.” The main language of communication is German with its sister project, diet-health.info, also offering translations in other languages.[7]

Funding[edit]

The foundation is supported through funding only.[1] Ernst Erb, on LinkedIn, self-reports himself as responsible for financing the non-profit. The official website and LinkedIn of the non-profit further states that it is “independent of industry/state and does not sell anything or advertise” with the goal to provide “well-researched and neutral information.”[8]

Services[edit]

As part of its efforts to provide the public with accessible nutritional information, diet-health.info offers cost-free memberships that tailor advice to individuals to fit their personal health needs, including newsletters that highlight new information and topics of interest.[9]
