Something I take - nothing drastic- has got cancer on the list.

You have to just put your blinkers on, I think. Most of the side effects, I hope, are a tiny risk, and treatment is better than non-treatment.

They put pretty much anything that happens on the side effects list. Anything that happens to the people during trials and anyone who reports something after the trials too. Unless you can prove that being hit by a car wasn't related to the medicine then it too would go down on the list.

I was entertained by The Ella of Deliciously on telly last night going, "A plant based diet means based on plants.". A good example of someone being so thick that they don't realise how thick they actually are in comparison with even the British television-watching public.

Ella is regarded as the brains of the clean eating movement...

She didn't have the sense not to go on the television and as good as admit that she was a money-making scam. I wonder who's actually raking in the money from the wonderfully simple business plan of recruiting a thick but photogenic posh girl, training her to use social media, publishing a cookbook in her name, and creating a vague health-related back story for her to recite.

I know we normally keep things quite light and ludicrous here, but I wonder if you have read this story of the forthcoming prosecution of Robert O Young, "the father of the alkaline diet" (not "clean eating" as such but begat at least a strand of it)? bbc.co.uk I know there are lots of terrible things happening and plenty of shysters preying on the desperate and/or gullible but there was something about this one which particular made me despair of just the depth of wickedness involved :-(. |

I saw that on the same programme, Dvorak, though I was aware of him anyway because after that do we had with Fellmouse a few years ago I've taken a very dim view of anyone who makes a living out of making people scared of their dinner or their doctor. Unsavoury.
