"In 1951, British nutritionist Elsie Widdowson described in the pages of The Lancet her studies of the effects of war rations on the health of children in Germany. Two FrI.

"Xinia Fernandez, a nutritionist who'd studied Nicoya. I had contacted her about dietary surveys of the peninsula but soon realized that over the years of talking with Nicoyans, she had gathered keen insights into their character as well. "We notice that the most highly functioning people over 90 in Nicoya have a few common traits," she told me. "One of them is that they feel a strong sense of service to others or care for their family. We see that as soon as they lose this, the switch goes off. They die very quickly if they don't feel needed." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper," American nutritionist Adelle Davis is said to have recommended—an attitude also reflected in Adventist practices. A light dinner early in the evening avoids flooding the body with calories during the inactive parts of the day. It seems to promote better sleep and a lower BMI. Put more plants in your diet. Nonsmoking Adventists who ate 2 or more servings of fruit per day had about 70 percent fewer lung cancers than nonsmokers who ate fruit only once or twice a week." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "I am not a nutritionist, and I don't profess to be." Another thing that helps keep the weight off is drinking water, Wareham noted, as, almost in gentle rebuttal, his wife entered and gave us both a glass of cranberry juice. "I became aware some years ago that water is highly important to health, and I do make an effort to drink a lot of it. I'll drink maybe three glasses of water when I first get up, because I want to make sure before I get busy and forget to have some. Then when I get home I have some more." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"I don't know of any food scientist, nutritionist, physician, or other expert who, on a daily basis, would go to the enormous trouble of calculating how many calories' worth of saturated fat they are ingesting, or who have more than a general notion of how many milligrams of cholesterol and trans fat they consume. It is absurd to ask the public to follow rules that even the scientists who invent them do not." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"The world-renowned nutritionist and former president of Tufts University Jean Mayer, Ph.D., was famously quoted as saying, "Any secretary who's been on a diet knows as much about nutrition as the average doctor in this country." In other words, it's a good bet that your doctor—upon whom you rely for health information—knows no more about natural treatments or nutritional medicine than you do. But that's not the problem. The problem is that he thinks he does." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Again, work carefully with your doctor and/or nutritionist. Just because a supplement or vitamin is rich in antioxidants doesn't mean gobbling handfuls of it will be at all useful or prudent. Research on antioxidants and autoimmune disease is still new—as is research into antioxidants in general. For example, one highly controversial study suggested that people who consume high amounts of vitamin A may face an increased risk of certain illnesses. Vitamin E has also been the source of recent controversy." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"When there is a real learning problem, the "number one cause is poor nutrition," says nutritionist Howard Pleper, author of The ADD Diet Book. Again, the problem is lifestyle. Because "we believe in instant gratification, it's easy to go out and get foods with chemicals and additives, especially preservatives, so that if we decide not to eat it today, we can eat it three years from now. Also, the soil in which our food is grown is depleted of the essential nutrients, even the soil in which 'organic' fruits and vegetables are grown." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"They aren't paid to coordinate the care of diabetics or heart failure patients, to hire nurses to track a patient's weight or make sure his lungs aren't filling up with fluid, or a nutritionist to help a diabetic understand what she can and cannot eat. In order for programs like Pursuing Perfection to succeed, hospitals must work with all local doctors, not just those who are willing to lose money in order to help their patients. The way to do that is to pay them as if they were a single, integrated group, hospitals and doctors working together. But that's not how we do it." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Lipid specialist and nutritionist Mary Enig, PhD explains one of the main reasons behind the soy revolution. She says, "The reason there's so much soy in America is because they [the soy industry] started to plant soy to extract the oil from it and soy oil became a very large industry. Once they had as much oil as they did in the food supply they had a lot of soy protein residue left over, and since they can't feed it to animals, except in small amounts, they had to find another market." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Insurers won't pay for a nutritionist to teach diabetics how to eat properly. They pay podiatrists well to perform procedures, but not to help a diabetic learn to inspect his own feet. One group of sixty doctors, at the Madrona Medical Group, who took part in planning the initiative, have withdrawn from the program because participating will cost them too much money. This is the sorry state of American health care. Doing what's best for patients is bad for business. The problem here is not that there's no money; it's that the money flows through the system in the wrong way." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"A nutritionist suggested that Kimberly start her day with an egg and some fresh fruit, avoid snacking,and have a little more protein and vegetables for lunch (such as a burger without the bun, plus steamed vegetables). The nutritionist also recommended that Kimberly drink a couple of cups of green tea each day—the tea is rich in L-theanine, a natural substance that improves mental focus. Within a few days of making these changes, Kimberly became less spacey and more focused. She was not as easily distracted or frazzled by what people were doing around her." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"Tufts University the answers they frequently come back with are almost mind-numbing in their combination of wrong-headedness and arrogance. Doctors are not nutritionists any more than plumbers are carpenters. Many are absolutely great at what they do—but they are not great at what they don't do. And unfortunately, either by temperament or training, they are not humble about what they don't know, and are frequendy willing to dispense advice and information about nutrition with absolute authority even when they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "My associate, Maryland nutritionist Sue Mudd, M.S., C.N.S., once did a food sensitivity test (known as an ALCAT test) on an eight-year-old boy with a severe case of eczema and found that he tested positive for blueberries, apples, and broccoli. (Huh?) Once these seemingly innocuous (and healthy!) foods were removed from his diet, the eczema cleared up. His mother still can't believe it: Gone are the nights she spent with him, up at 3 a.m. because his back was unbearably itchy. Go figure." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"If you decide to take supplements and vitamins, choose them with special care, and go over all of them with a qualified nutritionist or with your doctor if he/she is knowledgeable about cutting-edge studies on food-as-medicine. A good specialist recognizes that so-called natural remedies are drugs. After all, aspirin was originally derived from willow bark, and the anticancer chemothera-peutic agent Taxol was derived from the bark of the Pacific yew tree." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Over the past two decades, I have worked as a nutritionist in conventional and integrative medical centers and in private practice. I've helped patients recover from multiple drug addictions; reverse heart disease; prevent and fight cancer; improve mental, physical, and sexual performance, even when challenged with diseases including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's; and become pregnant—all through good nutrition practices." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"The stricter Step 2 diet requires greater discipline and perhaps the guidance of a dietician/ nutritionist. Step 2 differs from Step 1 in that less than 7 percent of daily calories comes from saturated fats and cholesterol intake is limited to less than 200 mg. If you have a diet that differs from the Step 1 diet, and you have hyperlipidemia, then start with this diet. If you are already following the Step 1 diet, or a similar diet, and your cholesterol is still abnormal, especially an elevated LDL, then you should start the Step 2 diet." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"If such an approach to food doesn't strike you as the least bit strange, that is probably because nutritionist thinking has become so pervasive as to be invisible. We forget that, historically, people have eaten for a great many reasons other than biological necessity. Food is also about pleasure, about community, about family and spirituality, about our relationship to the natural world, and about expressing our identity. As long as humans have been taking meals together, eating has been as much about culture as it has been about biology." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.) "So fish, beef, and chicken through the nutritionist's lens become mere delivery systems for varying quantities of different fats and proteins and whatever other nutrients happen to be on their scope. Milk through this lens is reduced to a suspension of protein, lactose, fats, and calcium in water, when it is entirely possible that the benefits, or for that matter the hazards, of drinking milk owe to entirely other factors (growth hormones?) or relationships between factors (fat-soluble vitamins and saturated fat?) that have been overlooked." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.) "You would not think that common food animals could themselves be rejiggered to fit nutritionist fashion, but in fact some of them could be, and were, in response to the 1977 and 1982 dietary guidelines as animal scientists figured out how to breed leaner pigs and select for leaner beef. With widespread lipophobia taking hold of the human population, countless cattle lost their marbling and lean pork was repositioned as "the new white meat"—tasteless and tough as running shoes, perhaps, but now even a pork chop could compete with chicken as a way for eaters to "reduce saturated fat intake." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.) "To borrow, again, the nutritionist's reductive vocabulary: Leaves provide a host of critical nutrients a body can't get from a diet of refined seeds. There are the antioxidants and phyto-chemicals; there is the fiber; and then there are the essential omega-3 fatty acids found in leaves, which some researchers believe will turn out to be the most crucial missing nutrient of all. Most people associate omega-3 fatty acids with fish, but fish get them originally from green plants (specifically algae), which is where they all originate." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Emily Kane, in an article published by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians in HealthWorld Online, adds her recommendations, with the reminder to first consult with a nutritionist or naturopath: vitamin B-complex injected into the muscle every two to ten days; omega-3 fatty acids (such as raw flax or linseed oil, one teaspoon daily); omega-6 fatty acids, found in fish, and olive oil; vitamin B3, 500 milligrams at the start of the migraine; magnesium in doses of 400 to 800 milligrams daily; and Quercetin, 500 milligrams per day. Dr." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Consider reading more about each, experimenting, or speaking with your health-care practitioner and/or a qualified nutritionist to determine which approach is best for you. Nutritional Supplements Although dietary changes alone can have a powerful effect in reducing the incidence of heart disease, they may not be enough for everyone. Lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, inhibiting blood clots, preventing oxidative damage to the vessel walls, and several other mechanisms are all effects that can be achieved with the therapeutic use of nutritional/herbal supplements." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"At that time, the conventional wisdom was still that you used vitamins only in tiny amounts and you only needed them for the prevention of deficiency diseases, like scurvy or beriberi. A nutritionist accepted the fact that if you had scurvy you would eat oranges or you would take small quantities of vitamin C. As Dr. Hoffer puts it, "It was unheard of to give someone 1,000 mg of vitamin C. If you suggested this they would throw up their hands in horror. The idea that you could use large quantities of vitamins to treat conditions, not just to prevent them, was a major step forward." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Visiting a farm is the only way to taste the really good stuff. As nutritionist Marion Nestle writes: "If you haven't tasted fruits that are freshly picked, you have no idea how good they can be." I've learned the importance of cultivating a relationship with someone working in a quality fruit store, ideally someone who sources local fruits. I make it a point to go see a gnarled, gnomelike fellow at my local market who gives me samples and tells me when to eat what and points out bruised fruits that actually have more sugars. Without someone on the inside, it's a gamble." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Earl Mindell (who bills himself as "the world's leading nutritionist"), starts by asking readers how long they want to live. "Eighty years? Ninety? One hundred-plus years? Perhaps even forever?" The goji not only extends your life, it improves sexual function, helps you see in the dark, alleviates stress, relieves headaches, causes old blood to turn young again—and prevents cancer. To substantiate these claims historically, Mindell trots out someone called Master Li Qing Yuen, "the most famous goji user of all time." Yuen, so the tale spins, was born in 1678 and died in 1930, aged 252." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"She had difficulty focusing on one task and was easily distracted by telephone calls and e-mails. A nutritionist suggested that Kimberly start her day with an egg and some fresh fruit, avoid snacking,and have a little more protein and vegetables for lunch (such as a burger without the bun, plus steamed vegetables). The nutritionist also recommended that Kimberly drink a couple of cups of green tea each day—the tea is rich in L-theanine, a natural substance that improves mental focus. Within a few days of making these changes, Kimberly became less spacey and more focused." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"At-risk individuals who met with a nutritionist who helped them change their diet and lifestyle (more exercise, less fat and saturated fat, more fiber) cut their risk of developing diabetes by 58%, even though they only lost eight pounds on average. Prevention of diabetes with lifestyle intervention was more effective than medication (metformin), with a 58% reduction in new-onset diabetes in at-risk patients, compared to 31 % for those taking metformin." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)
