...nutrition and nutrients? This is not only a very common patient complaint, but doctors and medschool professors themselves have voiced concern about the scant instruction that doctors receive regarding nutrition, nutrient management, and so on.
I recall a study in JAMA in which a rather depressing percentage of surveyed GPs couldn't even recognize the symptoms of various nutrient/mineral deficiencies, which of course can lead to misdiagnosis.
Why is this? What can be done to make sure that new MDs have a thorough background in nutrition, nutrient science, and nutritional management?
