Dietitian vs. Nutritionist

Difference between Dietitian and Nutritionist

According to the College of Dietitians of Ontario, there is not a law in place that regulates nutritionists, and people do not require any training to call themselves "nutritionists." There are no strict criteria to ensure that nutritionists are knowledgeable about nutrition and that they practice safely and ethically.
