[QUOTE="stuffedolive, post: 376629, member: 65903"] Fortunately Geocacher, I am educated to postgrad level. I hold 2 first degrees, one of which is a science and a further science diploma. I am not a medical graduate, not a biochemist and thus do not feel adequately informed to judge the veracity of the scientific research behind this issue. However, even if there is correlation of 'chicken virus' with obesity that does not infer causation and certainly does not prove causation of diabetes. That is a basic concept of scientific enquiry. My main issue here is not with the science - although I am sceptical about this. You will of course understand that scepticism is not the same as denial. My main issue is that many vulnerable people will clutch at any reason, however improbable, to explain away the situation they find themselves in, and therefore we should be very careful about spreading messages and giving advice that we are not qualified to give. BTW Wikipedia is a very poor reference source. You would not be allowed to use it any academic paper. [/QUOTE]
