My wife just spent three days writing a takedown for a nutbar at the American Diabetes Association who claimed everything from the ketogenic diet is good for treating diabetes to GMOs are inherently bad for diabetes.
The guy went on a monumental Gish Gallop of woo quackery.
She posted her reply here:
Like our esteemed church protestor, such takedowns arenโt meant for the true believer who posts such nonsense.
They are for the third-party who might go into a trusted site like the American Diabetes Association and read their nonsense thinking this is real medicine rather than some GoogleU graduate pushing nonsense (and trying to kill someone).
The only thing the ketogenic diet has ever been shown to be effective for (and its spinoffs like the Atkins Diet) is certain types of epilepsy in children.
It is getting serious study for epilepsy in adults, by real researchers and physicians.
The GMO nonsense is just that.
Proud of my wife tonight for tearing apart a woo medicine promoter.
