And while the search engine uses a fantastic algorithm to find a relevant response to our question, it isn\u2019t always the most credible.<\/p><p>As a general rule, be cautious of blogs, magazines, and media outlets. While the information being shared in these sources <em>may<\/em> be credible, it tends to reflect one person\u2019s opinion, rather than an objective and unbiased stance. (And yes, I recognize the irony of writing a blog post about finding credible nutrition, while telling you to be mindful of blogs, but bear with me.)<\/p><p>In addition, pay attention to how the website ends; *.com websites are more likely to promote or sell products for profit, while *.gov (government sites), *.edu (academic institutions), and *.org (not-for-profit sites and health organizations) are more reliable and credible sources of nutrition information (1).<\/p><p>A website that also provides several disclaimers, warning you not to use their information as medical advice and relinquishing all liability, is also a red flag. Lastly, look for the <a href=\"https:\/\/carolynthomas.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/02\/hon-code.jpg\">Health on the Net symbol<\/a> at the bottom of the main page of the website. This not-for-profit organization promotes \u201ctransparent and reliable health information\u201d by using a set of principles to standardize health information on the internet (2).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a325f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2a325f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Expert<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9f13b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c9f13b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To better appreciate what makes someone a nutrition expert, we need to take a detour to understand the difference between a regulated and unregulated health professional.<\/p><p>Regulated health professionals are governed by legislative colleges (for example, The College of Dietitians of Ontario) to ensure their members provide safe, professional, and ethical care. These colleges exist to protect the public and have disciplinary protocols in place to deal with complaints filed against their members. The <em>only <\/em>regulated nutrition professionals in North American are Registered Dietitians (RD, RDN).<\/p><p>\u201cRegistered Holistic Nutritionist\u201d, \u201cCertified Nutritional Practitioner\u201d, \u201cRONP\u201d, \u201cRNCP\u201d, \u201cROHP\u201d, \u201cRHN\u201d, \u201cCNP\u201d are not the same as \u201cRegistered Dietitian\u201d and do not indicate the person is a regulated health professional. Typically, these titles are used by those who have completed privately owned training programs that vary in length (most programs are 1-2 years) and rigor (3).<\/p><p>On the other hand, dietitians hold a university degree in food and nutrition from an accredited university program, have completed 35-40 weeks of supervised practice, and passed a national examination to demonstrate competency and knowledge. Now, this does NOT mean that all dietitians are good, and all nutritionists are bad; rather, it simply reflects the degree of training and informs you, as the consumer, if the person you are entrusting with your nutrition care is liable for what he or she says.<\/p><p>So where do doctors fit in with all of this?<\/p><p>Although doctors receive extensive medical training, the amount of nutrition education they participate in is minimal. A study from 2006 (4) reported that medical students in the United States received an average of 23.9 hours (less than one day) of nutrition education during medical school.<\/p><p>Thankfully, more doctors are appreciating the role of nutrition in disease and pursuing additional training. However, since this is not a requirement of all doctors, it\u2019s a good idea to ask your doctor about the nutrition training he or she received in order to make an informed opinion on the advice that is being offered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8bd940a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8bd940a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Claim<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e16f9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1e16f9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Does the nutrition claim sound too good to be true?
