Oh, sorry about that. Yeah, you're right; regular doctors don't get very much training in nutrition and therefore don't consider it their job to teach nutrition to their patients. And even if they do know something about nutrition, they usually don't have the time to spend talking about it.
However, it's easy enough for the average person to become informed through reading. For example, if a person has heart disease there are a number of good books on how to reverse coronary artery disease. I've read some of them just to be informed for the purpose of prevention.
