watch out for scams!
'Diet has been studied very extensively, and there are some things that we know with a fair degree of certainty: there is convincing evidence that diets rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, with natural sources of dietary fibre, avoiding obesity, moderate alcohol, and physical exercise, are protective against things such as cancer and heart disease. But nutritionists don't stop there, because they can't: they have to manufacture complication, to justify the existence of their profession. And what an extraordinary new profession it is. They've appeared out of nowhere, with a strong new-age bent, but dressing themselves up in the cloak of scientific authority. Because there is, of course, a genuine body of research about nutrition and health, to which these new "nutritionists" are spectacularly unreliable witnesses. You don't get sober professors from the Medical Research Council's Human Nutrition Research Unit on telly talking about the evidence on food and health; you get the media nutritionists. It's like the difference between astrology and astronomy.'

to be fair i did not know this 'Dr Gillian McKeith' persona at all before reading the article; i have not heard her speak nor have i read her books although her face does resemble some sort of 'celebrity'. however i feel that this fierce criticism on her deserves to be read by the public for it is a rather good example of cultural analysis (you'll see how the author disapproves this Dr phenomenon - meaning her, her 'teaching' and the media back up - based on evidences and how he honestly thinks that she is harmful to the nation.) the self-reflective way this article is written is quite funny too.
if what written in this article is true, this woman should really feel ashamed of herself.
