Is it ethical for dietitian influencers to take money for posts? Not everyone agrees | CBC News (www.cbc.ca)
submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/medicine

Portion I thought was important:

So far, dietitian colleges that act as regulators have largely allowed members to take money from industry, as long as they follow guidelines for advertising.

But some experts say the current level of oversight is insufficient, or argue that it's not possible for a licensed health-care practitioner to take money from industry without having a conflict of interest.

A recent joint investigation by the Washington Post and health journalism outlet The Examination found a number of American dietitians had posted videos on Instagram where they criticized headlines that questioned the safety of aspartame. It was revealed that the dietitians had been paid by the beverage industry to make the posts, and that in some cases the payment wasn't disclosed.

The same article highlighted paid posts some Canadian dietitians had done for the Canadian Sugar Institute — a non-profit industry group funded by private companies.

A decent discussion which pulls from a few recent reports. Since this is a community of healthcare professionals, you might already know most/all of this, but it's a nice place to start discussions or to share with friends/family :)
