From: "Gilbert Lawrence" <[email protected]>
To malign articles WITH REFERENCES by talking about the ideology of the
news-outlet (in which the article appeared) at best is "guilt by
association."
That is what Santosh's response is doing. The scientists that he quoted
should
take specific issues in the article and debunk it with data AND references.
The
linked articles is distortions and conclusions by a "biased" or "ignorant"
or source.
I am not defending the author of the original article. Yet what is to say
his
critics are more scientific than him. I noticed neither of the critical
articles had any references to debunk specific statements the original
author(s)
made.
**I do agree with you, Dr.Gilbert. What Dr.Mark Hyman is writing is true.
This is known to any "layman in medicine" or "quack".
Santosh admits, at least, that "there is some truth in what is said in the
Huffington Post article".
But the link that Santosh brings does not refute the article, nor is it
directly linked to it.
If there is "quackery and pseudoscience" in the claims on TV by Dr.Mark
Hyman,
let them tackle the problem directly without referring, in general, to
Huffington Post.
Let us avoid this "scientific illiteracy" on this Forum.
Regards.
