Especially where there is significant debate surrounding the key advice provided by the profession. It is the biochemists, endocrinologists, and physicians who conduct a large proportion of research in this field. Dietitians are not the true or exclusive founders of science in nutrition, therefore to restrict the delivery of nutritional science exclusively to dietitians does seem particularly ill-fitting. A large proportion of dietitians work in healthcare settings, where a significant proportion of healthcare staff are sceptical and disagree with of the use of funding in dietetics to push supplements - making money for companies that specialise in specific products. Unfortunately, a significant proportion of dietitians have a questionable knowledge base in other areas, such as endocrinology, anatomy and physiology and medicine. It is unfortunate that the majority of the public do not have the experience to recognise that dietitians are not always the best specialists in the field.
