Spewing mis-information?
It wouldn’t surprise me. That’s why I’m not as dogmatic as some of the other diet gurus out there. Patrick Clinton writes:
“There’s a reason everyone’s confused about whether coffee causes cancer, or whether butter’s good for you or bad. Food research has some big problems, as we’ve discussed here and here: questionable data, untrustworthy results, and pervasive bias (and not just on the part of Big Food). There’s reason to hope that scientists and academic journals will clean up their acts, and that journalists will refine their bullshit detectors and stop writing breathlessly about new nutrition “discoveries” that are anything but. Until that happens, though, we all need to get better at filtering for ourselves.”
