The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the largest organized group of nutrition professionals in the United States. They oversee the registration and continuing education of Registered Dietitians.

If the AND and Dietitians as a whole are supposed to promote nutrition to better serve individuals and communities, shouldn’t they be denouncing these kind of companies instead of accepting money and research from them? Is this ethical? I give my thoughts on this and more in this video.
