Re: Hello From The Diabetic Doctor
Easy now...
I for one am quite thrilled that we've got a post back that has got the blood up a bit - I know arguments are distressing to some, but it feels much more lively to have them here.
However, I don't for a moment doubt that the Good Doctor is a doctor or that he's here to spread some sort of conspiracy theory type agenda, I don't think any conditions should be placed upon him on how he comments or what he says. We are trying to find the answers here to serious issues and if you stop people from expressing an honest but different opinion to yours that's you done and dusted as an enquiring mind... You are not looking for answers you are just looking for people to agree with you and there's nothing down that road.
Let's get those medical text books out and have a discussion about the Krebs Cycle and ATP - I'd find that really useful.
So, I'm saying let the doctor speak and let's talk it through, we can then roll our eyes at his 'evangelical nonsense' phrases and point out the threads are generated by the users not the admin people so that a low uptake of 'high carb' discussions just means people are more interested in low carb ideas, fresh challenging and exciting as they are and then we can properly assess low carb diets and the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle (as I prefer to call it...) :wink: .
Lastly, I have no love for pomposity and the Good Doctor is certainly in danger of straying into that arena (crammed as it is with health care professionals) switching from his ' I know as much about nutrition as most schoolchildren’ to being upset when challenged by Fergus, but let’s be clear if he is banned for his views or this thread is locked then shame on this site :evil:
