Academy Of Nutrition And Dietetics Took Millions Of Dollars From Junk Food And Sugar Companies To Shape National Food Policy
New documents show the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has received millions of dollars in funding from food corporations that manufacture and sell sugar, junk food, soda, and other processed foods. The organization plays a huge role in shaping national food policy and nutrition education.
There's no doubt that we have an obesity epidemic in the US that is causing millions of Americans to be sick, die early, and live in pain. Meanwhile, public health organizations and medical experts will either completely ignore this epidemic or will offer incorrect information to citizens about improving their health. We're told to eat processed grains, vegetable oil instead of butter, and cereal for breakfast. We're also told to avoid meat and eggs. It's certainly not crazy to wonder whether these health organizations actually care about our health. Recent documents show that the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has been corrupt for years.
