Regarding The Alliance for Natural Health

A new negative online campaign containing a barrage of accusations toward ADA has recently been shared with members via DPG listservs. The Alliance for Natural Health is behind this attack and makes claims about ADA that are not only erroneous, they are ridiculous. ANH has criticized ADA in the past – and will likely do so in the future – for our alleged efforts to suppress “nutritionists” from earning a living. ANH’s one sided and misleading portrayal of ADA has a hidden agenda. The group is dedicated to undermining ADA’s licensure efforts and the RD credential, with little concern for the welfare of the public. Their allegations are not true, and we have said so many times.
