Dietitians' Advice Key In Battle Against Diabetes, Canada

Not exactly.

"Dietitians of Canada (DC) applauds the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and the Ministry of Health Promotion for helping Ontarians prevent and manage diabetes. The diabetes strategy announced today includes increasing access to team-based care for prevention and management of diabetes. The Ministry of Health Promotion has collaborated with Dietitians of Canada to provide the Eatright Ontario Dietitian Advisory Service. EatRight Ontario gives consumers and health professionals easy access to expert nutrition advice from Registered Dietitians through a toll-free number 1-877-510-510-2 or a web based service at http://www.ontario.ca/EatRight. Residents of Ontario can call with their questions about diabetes, as well as many other aspects of nutrition-related chronic disease and healthy eating. This service is a component of the provincial Action Plan for Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) and recognizes the Registered Dietitian (RD) as an integral part of the strategy."

This really means money in the pockets of dietitians.

No wonder they "applaud" the move.

But here is the problem.

Since dietitians spout the conventional wisdom, they offer no chance of resolving any overweight-related matter.

The article should be entitled "IGNORING Dietitians' Advice Key In Battle Against Diabetes, Canada."
