From popular fad diets to media-hyped foods and so-called magic supplements, clients are bombarded with information, leaving them confused. Dietetic practitioners in various settings come face to face with clients who believe the misinformation, and practitioners then have the arduous task of debunking the myths and setting the record straight. This session will review misconceptions and fads that have recently been on the rise and provide tactics on how practitioners can disseminate science-based information.

Learning Objectives

After attending this session, nutrition professionals should be able to:

  1. List and discuss the latest fads in food, diet, and supplements.
  2. Debunk myths when interacting with clients in various settings (eg, supermarket, private practice, corporate).
  3. Communicate evidence-based recommendations to clients who are prone to following fads.
