Just how much sugar should you eat? And what is causing childhood obesity?
These are questions nutritionists tackle everyday.
Yet a report released yesterday by Eat, Drink, Politics says the nation?s largest group of professional nutritionists?the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics?has close ties to food and beverage companies like Coca-Cola, Mars, Hershey and Nestl?. Not only do these company sponsors receive space at conferences to convince dieticians of the benefits of their products, required continuing education is often also run by these very same companies.
