Dietitians of Canada stands with the International Confederation of Dietetic Associations (ICDA) in affirming that access to safe food and water is a fundamental human right.

Hunger and starvation must never be used as a weapon. Safe passage must be allowed for health professionals, including dietitians, to practice.

Les Diététistes du Canada se joignent à la Confédération internationale des associations de diététique (ICDA) pour affirmer que l'accès à une alimentation et à une eau salubres est un droit humain fondamental.

La faim et la famine ne doivent jamais être utilisées comme une arme. Les professionnels de la santé, y compris les diététistes, doivent pouvoir exercer leur profession en toute sécurité.

BMI alone doesn’t tell the full story of health. Yet in Canada, it’s still often used as the only measure to define obesity. This narrow view reinforces stigma, places blame on individuals, and limits fair access to care for people living with obesity.

That’s why Dietitians of Canada and Obesity Canada have published a joint response in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. In “Beyond BMI: Advancing research and access to care in Canadian public health monitoring systems”, we call for researchers and health systems to modernize how obesity is defined and measured.

Building on the Canadian Adult Obesity Clinical Practice Guidelines, we emphasize that obesity is about adipose tissue that impairs health — not just a number on a scale. BMI can be a useful population-level tool, but it should never be treated as a direct indicator of an individual’s health.

Modernizing research, public health monitoring, and policy frameworks beyond BMI is essential to ensure Canadians living with obesity receive accurate monitoring, fair interpretation, and equitable access to care.

GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy are reshaping diabetes and weight management. This raises an important question: can foods or supplements stimulate GLP-1, improve health outcomes, or even reduce the need for medication?

The PEN Team examined the evidence, and the conclusions are important for practice. Swipe through the carousel to see what they discovered.

✨ Hint: Evidence remains limited, but dietitians play a critical role in guiding safe, balanced choices.
