FDA Approves First Nonprescription Daily Oral Contraceptive

So, because I displaced the term dietician with nutritionist conversationally you side step into a diatribe. You do realize that a lot of people have learning disabilities that make it difficult to remember specific terms in their place? It's kind of like a mental block in trying to remember. I have this when it comes to proper names all the time. It doesn't mean that I don't have an understanding of the conceptual base.

So, dieticians never suggested limiting cholesterol, and cutting out all saturated fat?

People mix up the title all the time, it's no big deal. I'm mostly focused on the fact that you were upset by the licensing requirement. I took that as evidence that you were not aware that dietitians are often a clinical facing role, with clinical responsibilities such as writing prescriptions.

Was I incorrect in that assumption? Or do you genuinely want to relax the licensure requirement for people who write IV prescriptions?

I'm not upset about the licensing requirement... I'm upset that said licensing is based more around establishment dogma (standard of care via USDA) than actual known nutritional science.
