Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics represents over 100,000 registered dietitians and plays a central role in shaping national nutrition policy. Academy leaders have been employed by or consulted for multinational food, pharmaceutical, and advertising corporations. The Academy and its foundation have invested in ultra-processed food and pharmaceutical companies, creating a direct financial conflict of interest with its stated mission. Abbott Laboratories has given over $800,000 to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
