Dietitians Association DOWN on Organics, But Sponsored by Corporate Health Offenders
Is the ADA is duplicitous? Are they about nutrition, or just about their brand of nutrition, which dances around the issues that offend their sponsors. Go to their website and you’ll see which companies sponsor them. It’s appalling: CocaCola, PepsiCo and more. CLICK HERE.
…From Organic Consumers Assn. — The American Dietetic Association Buries Organic Nutrition Facts
The American Dietetic Association (ADA) is the world’s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals. Its opinions influence health care professionals, the media, and state and federal policies. While ADA claims it is committed to “improving the nation’s health and advancing the profession of dietetics through research, education and advocacy,” its perspective is clearly being influenced by corporate agribusiness. Although the ADA has nothing to say about the abundance of scientific studies exposing the dangers of genetically engineered foods , the organization’s own Marianne Smith Edge has been giving anti-organic keynote addresses at meetings of state dietetic associations across the nation.
The ADA’s own studies in 2007 and 2009 revealed that plants cultivated in organic systems contain higher levels of nutrients, yet the ADA’s website claims, “nutritionally there is no evidence that organic produce is better or safer than conventionally grown produce.” It’s time to expose the ADA’s bias.
