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.

A Hot Topic:

  • Has significant effect on consumer health;
  • Is valuable to ADA and membership; and
  • Is newsworthy with consideration to risks/benefits of a public response.

Questions/comments may be sent to hod@eatright.org.
