Re: Alternative Medicine / was: One World Whey

Well, if medical education means nothing, then why characterize someone's

opinion as a " first year student " ? But why not let Duncan answer the question?

And btw, Dr. Mercola is not a conventional doctor. He is a well respected

long-time advocate of alternate methods, and I'm confident he knows quite a bit

more than you, me, AND Duncan.

Because it is a meaningless question.

I'm very well acquainted with Dr. Mercola - and while I agree he ie very

knowledgeable, he is also biased, because he sells the stuff he

promotes, which, in my view, taints his opinion pieces whenever they are

about some competitors product(s). His opinion piece on whey protein

isolates vs concentrates was just a hatchet job - and just plain wrong

to boot.

I note that Mercola's first year writers don't put in actual references, heck,

no, but you have their opinions anyway We discuss products with a degree of

thoroughness on this list precisely so we don't form our opinions as hastily as

the author has done. The article might indicate the author is sloppy or does not

read much before he writes. And that Mercola only panned it.

all good,

Duncan

writing.
