[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 1926268, member: 343949"] I don't mean to level this at Guzzler, but I don't think there's any 'to be fair' about it: if the NHS was guided by tobacco and alcohol companies and were still giving pregnant women Guiness etc, there'd soon be something said about it. I'm not sure the guidelines they follow are that much less damaging These people claim to be medical professionals, and their bad advice is making people sick on a massive scale. Just LOOK at what they suggest people eat- oatmeal, bananas, baked beans, potatoes, and tasty fruit. Ridiculous. There was a doctor back in the old days called Ignatz Semmelweiss, and he worked out that surgeons were handling corpses before delivering children, without washing their hands in between- so the women were dying of infections. He presented this hypothesis, and the reaction was one of outrage: 'How DARE he impugn the good name of our surgeons?/ A gentleman's hands are never dirty. That's what you've got today- a Semmelweiss reflex. We tell you fat is bad, eat loads of carbs- things keep getting worse and worse and worse, but if we try to change the advice now we'll lose face.
