Dr Biffa's run-in with the British Diabetic Association and others (<A HREF="http://www.drbriffa.com/blog/2008/06/25/why-might-a-leading-diabetes-charity-offer-dietary-advice-that-is-likely-to-increase-the-need-for-medication/" REL="nofollow">here</A> and <A HREF="http://nhsblogdoc.blogspot.com/2008/06/has-dr-john-briffa-taken-leave-of-his.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>)<BR/>is emblematic of the adversarial culture that is stiffling progress in the area of nutritional advice. I'm not saying Biffa was entirely right, just that a constructive dialogue would be more likely to lead us to the truth.<BR/><BR/>Methuselah<BR/><A HREF="http://paynowlivelater.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Pay Now Live Later</A>Methuselahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134860337125242027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-10187120733182670462008-07-30T06:13:00.000-05:002008-07-30T06:13:00.000-05:00I take it 'Anonymous' is writing in complete ignor...I take it 'Anonymous' is writing in complete ignorance of the medical system in the UK.<BR/>Please learn some facts before pontificating about how other people choose to live - the citizens of the UK value their National Health Service extremely highly and do not need right-wing neo-cons telling them how to live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-73678518000075756362008-07-26T11:47:00.000-05:002008-07-26T11:47:00.000-05:00The politics in the UK are horrible...even worse t...The politics in the UK are horrible...even worse than here, due to the Socialized Medicine state. The party line is a powerful thing, since funding and standards of care are so closely linked.<BR/><BR/>The UK "scientists" and doctors swallowed the US low-fat dogma...and are now terrified that they really screwed up...heads will roll when the magnitude of the screw up becomes known.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-67244542801436234102008-07-25T12:34:00.000-05:002008-07-25T12:34:00.000-05:00Thnaks for the info, Regina.

The interpretations do grow old and even die out; and mehtods do change - but neither really affects well reported data. <BR/><BR/>As far as I know, the Cochrane Collections do their best to keep on the data, not the interpretations. So, what might have gone wrong here?<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/> LeenaSLeenaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565398001624904475noreply@blogger.com
