 | | A nutritionist is a health specialist who devotes his/her professional activity exclusively to food/nutrition science, preventive nutrition, diseases related to nutrient deficiencies, and the use of nutrient manipulation to enhance the clinical response to human diseases. |
 | | A CNS has an advanced degree (master's, doctoral, or professional level), in nutrition or closely allied subject, and has additionally met the stringent requirements of the American College of Nutrition (ACN)'s certifying arm, the Certification Board For Nutrition Specialists (CBNS). |
 | | The CBNS was created as a national certifying body in response to the many advanced degree nutritionists (master's and doctoral level) from regionally accredited institutions that seek more formal recognition of their knowledge, skills and experience. |
