Some states require a license to practice as a nutritionist or dietitian, which includes limitations on who can provide dietary advice to the public. However, the titles "dietitian" and "nutritionist" are not regulated in all states and can be used by anyone. Option A and B are incorrect because not all states allow anyone to use these titles without regulation. Option D is incorrect because not all states require a license to practice as a dietitian, and option E is incorrect because there are no established licensure standards for "nutrition consultants."
