In addition to its web site, the company also produces personal computer software[1] and several popular books.[2][3] Many of its products are based on the CalorieKing food database, which claims to contain over 100,000[4] foods in the American version and 20,000 foods in the Australian version.[5]
History
CalorieKing was founded as Family Health Publications in 1973 in Australia by Allan Borushek, biochemist and clinical dietitian, with the publication of the first Australian Calorie, Fat, & Carb Counter. In 1988, the book was published in the United States, selling more than 10,000,000 copies.[6] 1998[7] saw the launch of the company's web site, CalorieKing.com;[8] its Australian sister-site DietClub.com.au was launched in 1997[9] and later rebranded as CalorieKing.com.au.
In July 2007, the company announced[10] an alliance with the Joslin Diabetes Center to promote type 2 diabetes awareness, prevention, and management, and to build a culturally specific Latino food database.
