Alestorer, how come you are unwilling to believe anything you are told by someone calling themselves a nutritionist, but willing to believe all you read on websites which claim to "tell you the truth" about certain subjects? Surely they are as likely to be wrong?

Maybe you should read up on the subjects offline, if you care that much, as stuff in books has likely been better researched.

ooooo, Rupert, I'm surprised at you:


"McKeith obtained a degree in linguistics from the University of Edinburgh in 1981,[2] later moving to the United States, where she worked in marketing and international business. In 1984, she received a master's in international relations from the University of Pennsylvania.[15] In 1994, she obtained a master's degree, and in 1997, a PhD, both in holistic nutrition via a distance-learning programme from the non-accredited[16] American Holistic College of Nutrition, now the Clayton College of Natural Health in Birmingham, Alabama. McKeith is a member of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants.[17] Her website lists post-graduate membership of The Centre for Nutrition Education and certificates from the London School of Acupuncture and the Kailash Centre of Oriental Medicine among her qualifications. Also her website states that she is "currently studying with The Australasian College of Health Sciences, USA to become registered as a medical herbalist."[15]

Physician Ben Goldacre, writing in the The Guardian's "Bad Science" column, speculated on rumours that parts of McKeith's PhD thesis may have been published as a 48-page pamphlet entitled "Miracle Superfood: Wild Blue-Green Algae" and ridiculed the pamphlet as Cargo Cult science full of "anecdote, but no data."[18] Goldacre applied on-line to the American Association of Nutritional Consultants in the name of his dead cat and succeeded in getting the same "certified professional" membership as that possessed by McKeith. The price was $60.[19] In 2004, professor emeritus of nutrition, John Garrow, questioned McKeith's credentials and earlier claims as "...a scientist doing research and studies."[1

Dontcha love wikipedia, also notoriously unreliable!
the same, but different...

As I said, as likely to be wrong...no mention of right anywhere in that sentence...

I see what you mean...yes, I guess books can be just as full of crap (appropriate for this author, crap, really) as the internet. I was more thinking of what was written about the safety of food additives from people who had done real research.

As for finding her attractive, I guess if you find weird, poo fixated body nazis attractive, then she is a stunna.
