Years back the medical professional’s educational qualification
and work experience was considered the gold
standard to evaluate credibility. After the birth of Google,
it is a struggle for the evidence based practitioner to
work with clients from a foundation built on principles
of wisdom, confidence and integrity. The field of Nutrition
& Dietetics is most hit by quackery. From that friend
who managed to lose 20kgs & has 5000 followers in Instagram
to the Licenced Dietician promoting her grain
free products and glorifying the Paleo or Ketogenic diet
to that beautiful actress with a million followers, posting
pictures of her ‘Superfood detox green smoothie’ - the
public is as lost as we are. Hoping to shed some light
to the mayhem, I chose the topic of Nutritional Myths
with the objective of empowering my colleagues so thay
remain critical in their advice and go forth and support
those reaching out to them with confidence.
