"According to a statement issued by the American Dietetic Association (ADA), 'popularization of electronic interaction has resulted in rapid and widespread dissemination of misinformation and 'urban health myths… It is the position of the ADA that food and nutrition misinformation can have harmful effects on the health, wellbeing, and economic status of consumers… Several health organizations are addressing the proliferation of misinformation on the Internet. It is critical, therefore, that dietetics professionals be skeptical of information on the Internet, and that they are especially careful to provide accurate, research-supported evidence when contributing to these venues.'"These are the same "professionals" who are responsible for the "rapid and widespread dissemination of misinformation" of their own. (see here, here, here, here and here)
What irony.
Despite their acknowledgment "that food and nutrition misinformation can have harmful effects on the health, wellbeing, and economic status of consumers," these killers have not provided "accurate, research-supported evidence" to date, IMHO.
They are not going to start now.
Protect yourselves.
