Sisyphus Speaks 315: Registered Dietitians get continuing education credit for questionable courses on "toxins"

Summary: Unfortunately, pseudoscience is creeping into this profession as well. My correspondent politely pointed out to CDR that CPE credit was being offered for an Institute of Functional Medicine conference called "The Detox Summit," which, in his words, "aims to promote unproven claims about nutrition and dietetics by individual with questionable résumés" who are not RDNs and who promote nutrition and health claims not based on scientific evidence.
