Anyone else following the Goldacre Vs McKeith twitter fight?

Gillian McKeith?
Jeezus, I would not trust her to count her tits and get the same number twice!!!

There are plenty of men named and shamed in Goldacre's book Bad Science - Professor Patrick Holford gets a whole chapter to himself for the rubbish he talks about nutrition (including claiming that Vitamin C is more effective against HIV than AZT is), and the chapter about Matthias Rath (who persuaded the South African government that garlic was an effective cure for AIDS and "Western" medicines were poison) had to be left out of the first edition because he sued Goldacre and The Grauniad for libel in a case that cost them around £500,000 before it was finally thrown out.

Thank you.

The problem is people seem to focus on Ms McKeith, rather than the more serious issues addressed by the book and just focus on someone who can be easily targeted by an ever hungry media.

I heard on the radio the other day that you should always be wary of someone who refers to themselves as a nutritionist. The term dietician is legally protected like doctor or dentist but anyone can call themself a nutritionist. Assuming that's true, I'm guessing McKeith is a nutritionist.

True. I am also a nutritionist and using the non Dr's logic, I am recommending all basketball players eat kangaroo meat. If you want to be taller and thinner, eat snakes.

That'll be £50 please.

Nice, but for double boomed, you should also start selling the kangaroo meat. Now that's a Plan B.
