The Association of Sports Nutrition and Fittness Sciences (ASNFS) condemns the Disparaging Statements from Ms. Atishi Marlena, Minister of Edication of Delhi. In a recent statement that is available in various media outlets, Ms. Atishi Marlena, has ignorantly cast doubt on the credibility of dieticians and the science of nutrition. Her comments have raised significant questions about the role and expertise of nutrition professionals. ?Ms. Atishi Marlena has suggested that the diet being crafted by a dietician rather than a diabetologist and endocrinologist, was a cause for concern, questioning the credibility of the dietary plan. ASNFS emphasizes that it is the very role of nutritionists and dietitians in healthcare to work in collaboration with medical professionals and provide dietary guidance tailored to individual health needs. Such remarks, particularly from political and government figures, undermine the integrity and importance of the nutrition profession, which promotes health and well-being through proper nutrition. We would like to bring to the notice of Ms. Atishi Marlena the below: ? Qualified nutritionists & dietitians working at hospitals/clinics undergo intensive training for around 3 + 2 years of education post-high school. They study several subjects, including clinical dietetics, meal planning, diet & patient counseling.? ? Qualified nutritionists & dietitians take up internships and research projects to gain practical experience. ? Medical doctors do not receive similar intensive training in nutrition, and hence, they refer patients to nutritionists/dietitians and hospitals have special dietetics departments to offer nutritional care to patients. ? Medical doctors & nutritionists/dietitians complement and not replace each other to offer medical and nutritional therapy to patients.? Therefore, on behalf of the Nutrition Community, ASNFS calls for an apology and retraction of the disparaging statements from Ms. Marlena, reiterating the collaborative nature of nutritionists and dietitians in healthcare and their primary, if not exclusive, role in prescribing suitable dietary care to individuals. #nutritionist #dietitians #healthcare #paramedic
