Our group :-)

[Guest guest]

Yesterday, I was scanning the postings in a natural food group and

came away with a bad impression. It seemed like the blind were

leading the blind. Some postings contained descriptions of medical

problems and other people posted suggestions and cures without

recourse to any scientific explanation. Some of the " diagnoses " were

simply quackery.

I am glad that Francesca and other contributors to this group keep the

standards high by insisting on peer-reviewed scientific papers

documenting suggestions or points of view. Some of the debates in

this group may be hard to follow for people without scientific

training, but I think that everyone benefits from the discussions.

Thanks,

You're right, we got tired of newsgroups a long time ago.

"natural food"? ha ha ha ha ha.

I don't want natural food or paleo food anyway. I want "unnatural" food that makes me live longer.

Regards.
