The Biography bit on the author is:-It seems there's a piece on recent LCHF research in the recent New Scientist - unfortunately it's behind a paywall, and I'm not about to take out a subscription. The 100 or so words I've seen are a bit gee-whiz journalist rubbish (eg "fad diets") but I'd really like to see what it says. Anyone got it or know where it can be read? I might even have to read an old-fashioned print copy.
Thank you, you've confirmed what I suspected might be the case. Money corrupts.New Scientist used to be a fairly reliable source of information, like The Lancet. It has been taken over by Elsevier, and those of us with experience of this publications house recognise that they now have an editorial bias that is not necessarily conducive to the truth or true science. They seem to have lost their direction in favour of a more popular pathway, presumably to pay the bills.
As my granny used to say, it's not the money, but the love of money, that corrupts.Thank you, you've confirmed what I suspected might be the case. Money corrupts.
Your granny adopted the Biblical approach, very commendable. However I have lost count of the number of once respectable publications that have followed New Scientist and the Lancet (and Which?, for that matter) into the darkness. I excuse newspapers, which were never respectable in the first place.As my granny used to say, it's not the money, but the love of money, that corrupts.

Just picked up on this, very interesting! I have read the New Scientist off and on since the sixties, more regularly in the last few years. I had held the magazine in high regard, until about a year or so ago, when they reproduced the Eat Lancet (?) report without any criticism and trashing a reply from an advocate of a more meat based diet.New Scientist used to be a fairly reliable source of information, like The Lancet.
