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 Nestlé. Not only do these company sponsors receive space at conferences to convince dieticians of the benefits of their products, required continuing education for nutritionists is often run by these very same companies.
“These courses cannot possibly be based on science if they are sponsored by the likes of Coke and Hershey’s,” says Michele Simon, a public health lawyer and founder of Eat, Drink, Politics. “Food companies are not in the education business, they are in the selling food business. These particular companies make money selling the very foods people are eating too much of, so how could they possibly offer science-based information that would go against their interests?”

If you ever wondered why there are so many conflicting viewpoints on what is proper nutrition, now you know why.
I have often wonder why diabetics are told to eat grains? How if eating a diet low in fat was supposed to reduce the risk of heart disease and help us lose weight than why has heart disease become the number one killer of Americans and the population more obese since it's proclamation?
The idea that Food Processing giants are manipulating the facts should not be a surprise. That professional nutritionists are receiving conflicting information feed to them by the "Enemy"is sad by absolutely legal. It is no different then marketing you and I on TV or buying space on the grocery shelves. Corporations are not moral entities. There goals are economic not humanitarian.
If you don't seek out the truth you will live less and die longer!
