Nutrition professionals must be well informed on trends in the nutrition industry. With so much disinformation circulating, it is not reasonable to expect our patients to come in the door open to our evidence-based ideas. Instead, they often consult us with hopes that we can help them stick to the latest fad diet being promoted.

In this talk, we’ll learn how to be armed with evidence when presented with faulty interpretations of science.
