I like the idea of the Quackwatch website, I really do. Reading through it, something becomes painfully obvious, the knowledge base is woefully outdated. It is consistent with the medical consensus from about 1965. In those days nutrition was on the periphery of medicine; these days nutrition has moved centre stage. Earlier on this year I was tested for cholesterol, B12, iron and folate. This would not have happened even 30 years ago.
