ADA Position Papers
ADA Position Papers explain the Association’s stance on issues that affect the nutritional status of the public. Positions, which consist of a position statement and a support paper, are based on sound scientific data. ADA authorizes republication of position papers, in their entirety, provided full and proper credit is given. Readers may copy and distribute position papers providing such distribution is not used to indicate an endorsement of a product or service. Requests to use portions of a position or requests for hard copies of a position may be requested by emailing your name, address and position title to ppapers@eatright.org.

Hot Topics
Hot Topics are short, concise practice and science-based answers to current questions RDs and DTRs may receive. Hot Topics are not an ADA position or stance on a topic and does not reflect Association consensus on the issue. Rather, they provide expert opinion to an emerging area of food, nutrition and health. Hot Topics are meant to assist RDs and DTRs in answering questions of patients/clients and the media.
