Sounds as if she/whoever runs her tweet may have uttered/typed libelous comments about Ben Goldacre - could get interesting...... link

Oh, not her again. Why are people still entertaining such a blatant fraudster?

Look, it's very very simple. If someone's claiming to have, e.g., a PhD, this is very easy to check. If they haven't, don't believe anything they say, even if they say that water is wet - why should you believe anything from someone who lies - lies, not misguides - about their professional standing? We have enough nonsense coming from people who do have the qualifications they claim, many of whom contradict each other. There are too many people in this business with an axe to grind, and - whether they realise it or not - they are imposing their ideas, their OPINIONS, on the rest of us, with little or no concrete evidence to back them up, and I'm heartily sick of it. It won't be long, I predict, before someone starts extolling the virtues of junk food, if indeed they haven't already. Greens are bad for you, dontyouknow. :rolleyes:

Says it all. :)

Off to stick spinach up my bum and then stand akimbo a mirror to shoot sunshine up my backside so that the chlorophyll can oxygenate me.

Oh God don't be giving me ideas like that. It's only a few too many glasses of
Scotch away...
