Re: Mercola and alt medicine / was: One World Whey

[Guest guest]

Doctors and scientists who put their names to medical articles they have not

written should be charged with professional misconduct and fraud, according to

legal experts.

fraud>

[Duncan points out] ...Just so everyone knows, my concern in the context of this

thread is that even an " expert " like Mercola, whom Dee appreciates I know, could

allow trash writing on his site that is either biased or stupidly inaccurate,

without similar prosecution for fraud and professional misconduct.

In the case of the unfortunate " Mercola dissing whey " article we were

discussing, the trash ghost writer says whey is acidifying, which is patently

incorrect. One of the measures of protein, biological value (BV), shows whey

protein has the highest biological value, and alkaline food charts show whey is

in fact slightly alkalizing. That aside, trash writer also compares a highly

purified nutraceutical to a balanced meal, saying the purified whey is now

nutritionally incomplete. But, the best food we know of is never complete

without mixing, combining, or supplementing, and raw whey IS complete.

Stuff like that seriously undermines Mercola's credibility. Mercola's flock has

been caught at this trash writing and Mercola unfortunately put his name to it.

He should be investigated for fraud and misrepresentation along with the rest,

yet many people still take the trash writing at face value solely because it's

on the Mercola site, Dee included

Dee, I invite your response. Why would you take this man's secondhand OK of a

student technical writer's article over real data?

all good,

Duncan
