Advising on diet and lifestyle: naturopathy's role?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our comment on the CMAJ editorial by Stanbrook2 is that naturopaths are not formal members of health teams that provide nutrition guidance; this is the role of dietitians. That physicians usually partner with dietitians, whether in the hospital or community setting, seems to have been totally overlooked in Stanbrook’s2 editorial. Similar results could have been achieved had dietitians provided preventive eating and lifestyle guidance.
