There is so much misinformation regarding nutrition in the media. Let the Dallas Dietetic Association (DDA) decipher rumor from truth when it comes to all subjects pertaining to food. The Dallas Dietetic Association is available to provide expertise at media events such as health fairs, company health promotions or anywhere you need to get the nutrition facts. We are also available for interviews and nutrition guidance for the public.
The public must receive accurate information. That is why the Dallas Dietetic Association has created a specialized group within the DDA to handle media requests. The DDA Media Bureau is comprised of nationally recognized, media-trained, registered and licensed dietitians that have over 90 years in combined experience in all areas of evidence-based nutrition from culinary expertise, sports nutrition, fad diets and nutrition excellence across all age groups from birth to advanced age.
