Criticism I can take, but you accused the video of eggs - different post which you brought into this discussion - of being doom, well its not, doesn't say that at all, so you added your opinion to a scientific study on what you believe, not what is actual fact.
Everyone as I have stated and always state - you can make your own conclusions from the evidence. But if people are not informed how can they make an informed opinion?
We as people rely on food information which is very very hard to come by because whenever an independent scientific study comes up, the corporations that control the products that are being put down will always have a counter argument.
For instance - Professor
David Nutt, the government's chief drug adviser, has been sacked a day after
claiming that ecstasy and LSD were less dangerous than
alcohol. - The Guardian.
So because he went up against the "party" and their sponsors (being big pharma) he gets sacked, even if his argument is true and the evidence supports it, but if you ask Joe public, most will say these drugs are harmful.
I for one have never taken these substances because I choose not to, but all the latest research shows how Cannabis can cure and relieve symptoms of many chronic illnesses.
The doctor maybe a "quack" as you say, but any website that wants to say bad things about a person is easily done. For instance - President George W Bush - many websites love him, but there are websites that hate him. It's so easy to put people down, especially on a website and especially when it goes against the money making machines.
The Doctors love of health comes from Pritikin which saved his grand mother. For those who don't know what Pritikin does, its worth reading, they have helped thousands of people. Proven that what they do does work.
As for type 2 diabetes, which my father developed, I asked him to try juicing and a vegan style diet - to which he tried his best to adhere to paid off, because of the symptoms he was having from Type 2, disappeared when he had check ups later on. I did research, came to my own conclusions and it paid off for my Father.
Being type 1, I also have done the plant based diet and my blood sugars dropped substantially, but I still wanted to eat all the foods I had been eating most of my life. I am happy to say, while doing the plant based diet then changing it slightly to a very low intake of meat, I have reduced my insulin injections by 50%. I still avoid most dairy as I found that was more of a problem than actually eating meat.
I agree with you that Dyslexia didn't come from eating Aspartame but I thought the lady was just exaggerating her thoughts and didn't seriously believe that, since thousands of people suffer with dyslexia.
Anyway, I won't comment on this any more, as I think I have stated clearly what my beliefs are, to which I do extensive research and actually try the methods out, to know what works and what doesn't for me. All types of methods people have tried and failed, to which you have to keep trying and find what is causing problems for that individual and the most common thing we all have, is that we eat food, not knowing what has gone into making it, what has been fed to it and what kind if poisons and pesticides we are ingesting.
Aspartame caused me numerous depression bouts when I was younger because of the information the Diabetic doctors tell you to drink it, as its better than sugar, in fact they are wrong. Stevia is the way to go - no calories, no blood sugar spike and no extra insulin released.
