The truth about nutritionists

[ciphergoth]

San Francisco appears to be rather fun! Back tomorrow.

For those who enjoyed the NYT "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants" article, here's the wonderful Ben Goldacre of Bad Science writing about why 'nutritionism' isn't just nonsense, it's right-wing nonsense.

When I went back before my trip I had a MUCH better doctor who correctly diagnosed a problem, gave me informational literature about how to treat it AND suggested another doc at the clinic who could help me, AND said she had enough time to diagnose the problem the other doctor had been so lame about treating (resulting in referral for physio), plus retook my blood pressure since it had been so high last time the other GP said I might not be able to continue a prescription I'd been on for years! So yay Dr. Laurie, she'll be my regular from now on.
