![]() ![]() Your doctor's job is to know who to consult. Modern medical teams rely on a ton of support staff, one of those being clinical dietitians. They are following protocols established over decades of clinical practice.Īnd if you're wondering why doctors are ill informed, it's because they're not typically trained in nutrition outside of the basics (outside of gastroentorology). That's why they're so heavily regulated my dude, I promise you clinically focused dietitians are not using the kind of industry research you're talking about. In many cases dietitians have prescribing privileges and are prescribing recipes for intravenous or tube fed nutrition. It does require training and licensure to become a dietitian, because it's a clinically focused role. Nutritionist is not a protected title in the US or Australia, and actually requires no training whatsoever. "Not to mention nutritionists that are institutionally trained in dogma first, for licensure." See this is a great example, you've studied this topic extensively but don't seem to know the absolute basics of the industry. That mostly comes from my general opinions around the incestuous relationship of the FDA and private industry (similar to USDA). And they just, finally, pushed for OTC from the FDA. It's as likely big pharma ran the numbers that they'd make more with this medication being OTC today, where a few years ago it was better gatekept. On TFA, I don't have too much opinion on the specifics. US nutrition is too entwined with industrial agriculture. Australia is over a decade ahead of the US at this point, and EU is about half that ahead. ![]() Not to mention nutritionists that are institutionally trained in dogma first, for licensure. ![]() I bring the above up, because even a lot of doctors are ill informed. Mostly in that there's been so much mis/disinformation regarding food and nutrition over the past couple centuries, and I have a lot of health issues as a result. It's kind of funny considering I've probably done as much reading on nutrition science the past 5-7 years as I have programming (almost 30 years into this career). ![]()
