Dietitians and Nutrition Resources on Twitter

There is so much information available on the Internet that it has becomes difficult to determine what is reliable or unreliable. I created the Dietetic, Nutrition, Food and Health Twitter lists as a resource for consumers, health care professionals, journalists and educators.

The list continues to grow and includes dietitians throughout the world, dietetic associations and practice groups, government agencies and government funded programs, health and medical associations, CEU providers, nutrition education resources, dietetic internships and student dietetic associations, consumer advocacy groups, trade associations, and food corporations.

This week (September 24 - 27) the American Dietetic Association is holding their annual Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE) in San Diego, California. You can follow the events by logging into Twitter and searching for the hash tag #FNCE.

Dietitians and Nutrition Resources on Twitter
Due to the number of resources, the entire Twitter list can be viewed at
http://dietitians-online.com/ under "Dietitians on Twitter."

The links do not constitute an endorsement and in some situations are intended to increase awareness of the food industry, government regulations, and current research in health care.

Dietitians-Online.com reviews every possible online resource to confirm registration and/or accreditation status. Each Internet page is reviewed in order to determine number of up-dates,
ease of viewing, contact information, broken links, questionable practices, and reliable information and resources. Dietitians-Online.com is not responsible for the materials presented on these links.

Sixty-two Dietitians from Around the World Dietitians-Online Celebrates its First Anniversary on the Internet

On November 7, 2010 Dietitians-Online celebrates its first anniversary on the Internet.

As a Registered Dietitian, Educator and Journalist creating lists of reliable resources is essential and a habit. In 1995 I started to write down the dietitians and health related places on the Internet. The list had less than 5 websites when I started. By 2005, I had found an additional 50 resources. Each year I would add more and more dietitians and resources. Then between 2007 and 2009, dietitians from all over the world started to appear on the Internet. They came from diverse backgrounds and unique experiences. This was the beginning of the "Social Media Dietitian".

Dietitians-Online was created to acknowledge the contributions of the dietitian on the Internet. To distinguish the dietitian as the nutrition expert and a valuable resource for the consumer, educator, media and health professional.

Between November 2009 and October 2010, Dietitians-Online visited over 700 websites, blogs and social media pages created by dietitians. Currently there are over 500 dietitians' pages waiting to be reviewed.

“Quotes by Dietitians” is an ongoing project, usually up-dated a few times per month. The dietitians are individuals who have a place on the Internet where they educate, write and/or provide services. Each person is a Registered Dietitian (RD) or an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD, Australia).

The experience in working with Dietitians-Online has been an amazing journey. I’ve met and discovered dietitians who demonstrate commitment, dedication, creativity, knowledge and excellence in the dietetic and nutrition profession. As I review and learn from the work of my colleagues and observe a new generation of dietitians, I am excited about the future of our profession.

I look forward to meeting you and visiting your place on the Internet.
Thank you for your support.
