Oh, and are you suggesting that whenever an 'author' attempts to dispel inaccurate information it is an appropriate action?

Nobody can know everything, I'm well aware. And maybe she wrote that article before more current research was concluded. However, 99/100 times we see doctors, gurus, and authors spewing misinformation like this without verifying the data with current research.

I would never have gone into this rant had you not turned this into something pesonal about my 'critique.'
