Gwyneth Paltrow/Blythman nonsense diet talking again. And again...

From the Guardian:
The author Ms. Blythman is not doctor, nor a scientist, although she writes about food.
Ms. Paltrow is not a doctor, nor a scientist and not even an average scientifically literate person.
Why do their very debatable and ill-informed opinions deserve a spot in the media? Why are they given a diffusion that goes way beyond their importance?
However, read by yourself the story of a vegan family (Paltrow's) and spot the many idiocies in it. At the end, you can get some help from the many sensible (and occasionally funny) comments at the bottom of the article. A great example of how NOT to read medical literature. Ben Goldacre would be thrilled to read this!
