Dietitians And Dietary Supplements

Dietitians do more to keep people obese than just about anybody, IMHO.

Why? See here.

Registered dietitians are one of several groups of healthcare professionals who report using dietary supplements as part of their health regimen, according to a newly published study in Nutrition Journal, a peer-reviewed, online journal that focuses on the field of human nutrition. According to data from the 2009 "Life...supplemented" Healthcare Professionals (HCP) Impact Study, 74 percent of dietitians use dietary supplements regularly while 22 percent reported using them occasionally or seasonally. The data also indicated that an overwhelming percentage of dietitians, 97 percent, recommend dietary supplements to their clients.

At best, supplements are useless.

That dietitians use them is irrelevant.

What is interesting is that 31% more dietitians recommend the stuff than use it regularly.

Why?

'Cause they can make a buck selling them.

Caveat Emptor.
