Reliable nutrition information is critical in the fight against obesity and diabetes. Unfortunately, the contribution of excess sugar/fructose consumption to obesity has been exonerated by high-profile but over-confident University of Sydney low-GI advocates - Dr Alan Barclay and Professor Jennie Brand Miller - with deep links to the sugar industry and other sugar sellers. No surprises there I guess, but what’s interesting is that this deeply flawed Australian Paradox study with its spectacularly false conclusion was published in a supposedly peer-reviewed science journal. The errors are so basic that the paper is an academic disgrace, in my opinion.
It turns out that the lead author also was the "Guest Editor" of the relevant "Special Issue" of the journal. :shock: I bet that helped promote objective quality control! In any case, I’m arguing near and far for this shoddy academic paper’s retraction by the authors, the journal and/or the University of Sydney. It’s all documented in this new PowerPoint presentation: http://www.australianparadox.com/pdf/AU ... AUGUST.pdf What do you think? Why not have a go at my $40,000 Australian Paradox challenge? If you think my analysis is credible, please join my campaign for the correction or retraction of this academic embarrassment. :thumbup: Whatever happened to quality control at the University of Sydney?
