Forty hours of dietary training for physicians is a good first step. I support the idea of then integrating dietary into each study of the systems of the body so that physicians can correlate the best foods to support those systems. The pathology of each system could include dietary guidelines to prevent or treat disease. An additional benefit could be that we may find medicines would not be as necessary. A good thing!!
Used to attend RD conferance in Chicago. At leat 2/3 of dieticians were obese and happy to stand in a long line to spin a 7' Nabisco wheel to see what prize they won.
The booths were over 90% junk food companies. Took several hours to walk the Show.
I had to think about your statement as you are right. My dietitian colleagues ( I am a Nutritionist) have had great resistance to the new guidelines and I haven’t understood quite why. They either don’t cook themselves, don’t know how to cook, didn’t pay attention to the nutrients in food classes, and culturally they stick together belonging to the same Dietetics Organization that is lead by many who still believe in the Climate Agenda and push beans and legumes over animal meats. Personally I was glad to see this new pyramid as the foods shown are the same I have been using to educate others for 30 years. And I would add to the picture a Bison, mushrooms, and deeply colored rice, not white rice.
I only go to chiropractors for the past five years since I found out what a natural health godsend they are. Their curriculum requires more than that, and they practice nutritional improvements as part of their no drug practice. I’m 75 years old and work full time selling produce. My spine is in great condition. I pay out of my pocket as Medicare lied in their manual this past year about unlimited visits. Now only covers six visits per episode. I would have no problem paying if the Insurance Mafia did not extort $205/mo from my Social Security. I use NO prescription drugs. All natural remedies and foods like beets that cannot be beat! Massage and acupuncture are also self care, natural essentials that I can’t
Health care freedom is my goal: SickCare extortion needs to stop.
I taught integrative medicine electives in med school and although few signed up the ones that did loved it and found the info enlightening. It incuded nutrition. Can you list the medical schools that have agreed to this? I think it's a wonderful step in the right direction!
Love this! We had a nutrition semester class where I went to school. It was the same one the med school used, along with the OT/PT and nursing school. I asked to test out of it, and although my counselor was a bit freaked out by the request, she said, "sure, go ahead and try." I did not study, I just went and took the test. It was laughably easy, and I got a 99th percentile of all the med school/nursing/OT/PT students. That's kind of sad...I hope more nutrition is added and I love the idea of integrating with the health systems in the learning process, as well as a teaching kitchen. There is so much to learn about the value of nutrition and health. It's everything in my view.
Should be integrated as they study each disease entity and how nutrition may prevent it abate that disease- however big pharma will find a way to again push meds over nutrition - farmers can't lobby for medical care the way but pharma will
That is a picture of Taro with the dirt clinging to it, Hawaii (Big Island) in the background, and the "elephant ear" leaf. Taro and wild pigs are both invasive sources of food, which drove the Polynesian expansion across the Pacific islands.
Plant some taro and leave a few male and female pigs on an island, and it will be "ready" in a couple of decades. Taro root is inedible/toxic, until cooked. Pigs fend for themselves.
Nutrition is complicated in some ways, and simple in other ways.
I grow a couple of large vegetable gardens. Sweet potatoes and yams (not identical) are invasive food species you can try growing if you have a lot of space, good knees and a good back, loose (not clay) soil, and patience. Black eyed peas are African beans that are similarly vigorous and self seeding.
Start vegetable gardening, figuring out what is going wrong, and watching your garden ecosystems.
Non indiginous food vegetables are ubiquitous. Pigs and axis deer dead along the highways in HI driven to seek food sources due to habitat loss. Neither are native species.
As you know Poi is a nutritious starch, that mixed blood people love.
Written well about a subject that has the capacity to not fully be understood. Especially Why, med students need the missing picture of nutrition integration with each organ. And then the body as a whole. Nutrition is a very complex science. The two students made it all come together.
I love their idea of integrating nutrition education into the already existing curriculum, making it much more practical and applicable. I really hope this is the approach medical schools take!
Nutrition training should be far more than 40 hours. But 40 is more than 20 and 20 is more than zero.
A drop in the bucket.
Like a sperm cell that impregnates an ovum.
The simple truth is that the Medical Cartel is unreformable.
Pharmacists are under tremendous pressure to fill mostly useless scripts and
to push vaxs and quaxs, mRNA kill shots
Forcing MD's to take a few hours of nutrition is a tiny step forward.
Learning about the cause of health is a life long philosophical missive.
The Medical profession has failed miserably now as before.
Thank the Flexner Report, and the fools that perpetuated this non science.
A pic of someone preparing food wearing a mask is telling.
Is that to protect for the fictitious "virus" ? Even if one "believes" they exist and believes in the
alleged size the best N95 mask cannot filter something one thousand times larger..

Pharma doesn't think so, as it would significantly reduce their profits. I wonder how much they'll push back on this.
That was my point!😊
Dietitians are trained in the upside down pyramid and are absolutely NOT nutritionists

Dead animals??? Better than legumes (beans are legumes)
All nutrients are best from plants as the population centers of the world have
shown since time began. No one needs the mockery of a pyramid whether inverted or not.
Every person who cares about their family or themself needs to be cognizant of nutritional considerations. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Expanding the circle of compasion is a great idea...

And your knowledge about health is far north of the discussions here.
Thanks for disclosure.

Physicians Commitee for Responsible Medicine and Dr. Neil Barnard of Georgetown University spent decades in this domain...
The Animal eating cult continues.
After they introduce nutrition to medical schools, perhaps they could introduce a course in toxicology.
Toxicology science is well established. There are thousands of details.
What is missing is knowledge about health.

It is sad, and also telling. Basic nutritional facts are high school level considerations.
The Philosophy of health, battles cultural norms. They eat insects live in Africa.
That is an improvement over slabs of cow on styrofoam...
Education is important, in addition, a must is affordabilty and accessibility to healthy choices.
This is many decades overdue , but is a good start
This is great news. If acted upon it will result in millions of lives being saved, over time.

Pigs are almost unstoppable, except by pig hunters on Hawaii.
