That's where the exhaustive detail of Mark Simon's and Roberta Russell's posts come in. They provided multiple cases of misconduct or misrepresentations that can easily be verified. This isn't just some, "We don't like him - he's different!" kind of thing.
Is there anything that might have prompted them to go to such an exhaustive details or they did it on their own? for the heck of it. I don't know.
Does anyone believe that Dr. Campbell's comments would've been published over at Dr. Fuhrman's board?
Unless you are saint, this ain't happening, so the above question is really moot. The true test of whether Dr McDougall would allow such comments would depend when someone critiques him or his work in a way Dr Fuhrman was taken to task!
Dr. Campbell came here merely to confirm most of the allegations Mark Simon made.
Obviously Dr Cambell doesn't hang out regularly on this forum so I find it little indigestible that he( Campbell) mysteriously found Mark Simnon's exhaustive work!
Yes, the science is important, but most studies can be manipulated to support various agendas.
Doesn't this apply to everyone?
Dr. Fuhrman has distorted studies to suggest that eating "white rice and white potato" will lead to diabetes, even though he should know that the evidence doesn't actually support that. Those were studies where participants ate refined starches and french fries, not whole plain potatoes or whole grain rice. Yet, his implications frighten his followers away from these healthy foods.
Supporters and proponents seem to be confused on this. Why not categorically say white rice and white potato is not a problem. From my own experience, I can eat a whole lot of white rice compare to brown rice because the former is not as much filling. I would think this would make you overweight and we all know excess weight can lead to diabetes, quick break down of sugar can bring the onslaught of diabetes.
