Dietitians - The Shamens of Nutrition

The following is an amusing account of  "experts" stumbling  when asked of evidence from their studies conflicting with their dietary advice

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/mar/23/everything-you-know-about-unhealthy-foods-is-wrong

Of course each change in dietary advice would have been parroted by your resident dietitian. Remember "eat no more than two eggs per week"? Did a patient go in one day to "no more than two" and next week ...........

    After years and a small fortune spent in counselling and getting the resident dietitian at DCUK out of my head "You pull me back in"

    Nice article. I noticed a link on that page to "heart healthy" meal suggestions and foolishly thought it would follow with a similar theme:

    Apparently orange juice counts toward the '5 a day' thing. So 5 glasses must be super healthy. Genius.
