GONZALEZ, Graciela  and  REY, Lucía. Creation of AADYND´s code of ethics: history, bases and foundations of a professional consensus. Diaeta [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.163, pp.27-33. ISSN 1852-7337.

The creation of the Code of Ethics of the Argentinean Association of Dietitians and Nutritionists Dietitians (AADYND) reflects the consensus of ethical behaviors that the professionals adhering to the Association consciously adopt for their professional practice. The doctrine by Dr. Escudero P, as well as the statute of the Association, since its start, has defined the professional values or ideals that were intended and are intended to be achieved. The Code of Ethics adopted by the members of the AADYND shows the exercise of their autonomy, of their ability to self-regulate, control themselves and self-direct towards levels of excellence. The AADYND's Code of Ethics is a means and an end in itself, it adapts to the principles of bioethics and was opportunely agreed by AADYND's members. It is an open instance to be reviewed in a timely manner.
