Re: Beth W. - Fats, Proteins, - postings

[Guest guest]

Beth - I truly and honestly have tried to be very open to your

postings. I am waiting for my copy of " Life Without Bread, " etc.,

and as you know, I encouraged you to write a personal story for the

MAGIC newsletter. But the latter postings are absolutely

overwhelming for me.

I just have a very difficult time with statements of yours that are

blanket statements, and rely upon a single article by a single

person -- whose article is more like a dissertation than an actual

study of a specific point. I am sure there are numerous people who

could write a " point-for-point " article back finding fault with much

of what she says. Your statement that " ... this will also help

explain why the Food Pyramid is also wrong. " Not " may be wrong "

but " is ... wrong. " and " ...why convention medicine's stance... HAS

been inaccurate for the apst 50+ years " (not " may " be inaccurate,

or " much " may be inaccurate, but a blanket " they are all 100% wrong. "

I truly believe that part of what you write is very correct. But I

simply can not dig my way through all of the rest of this. I still

believe that the listserve is available for any to post, if the info

is accurate or presumed in all honesty to be accurate. I would be

far more inclined to read your postings if they were shorter. For

example, you could simple write that you disagree with whomever, and

that there is this great article that is 20,000+ words long, and if

anyone wants a copy, they should email you privately. You could

even bullet point some of the articles findings.

Anyway. I won't get into a discussion on whether or not you are

correct or the FDA is correct or the Australian health organization

is correct. I do not have ANY background or trained knowledge to

make such comments. I would just plead that you please, if you want

me to read your postings, please please make them shorter.

It always makes me feel uneasy when anyone says, " Conventional

medicine is wrong " . Conventional medicine is not just one doctor or

one researcher. It covers a body of study and of evidence. I do not

think that nearly every researcher and doctor is corrupt or fooled or

taking money from food and drug manufacturers. I think that although

we need to keep our eyes open and be alert to the fact that drug

manufacturers probably do have a little too much influence in our

current medical world, we also have to believe that, for the most

part, doctors are doing the best they can for us.

I am always a little suspicious of 'the one doctor in the world who

has figured it out', particularly when their ideas are so different

from the standard.
