      To continue with ADG bc "if we don't ADG, other people will be able to push something else" is NOT a reason to continue blindly supporting ADG & without critique! We are scientists & health professionals first. We owe the public our "best minds"!! https://daa.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/DAA-letter-to-Sarah-Berry-SMH-Final.pdf …pic.twitter.com/IOQdWUHPSK

      ....and that starts surely with an explanation of why the ADG's were felt necessary in the first place.

      It would be interesting to get a counterpoint from any dietitian that @LouiseStephen9's research showed it was really just an extension of a Frankensteinian Scandanavian social experiment that has gone very wrong.https://louisestephen.com/2018/05/05/the-dietary-guidelines-experiment-part-1-2-2/ …

      I've been waiting too. I did let @GidMK know after the release of his piece on ADG https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/07/calling-dietary-guidelines-wrong-ignores-the-science … - which he said "the info was interesting" but has not changed his positioning - TBF I've not followed up

      "Waiting for Godot" should have been titled "Waiting for @GidMK." He seems to think that nutritional epidemiology is suitable for personal health decisions.

          I mean, I have dozens of blogs on the subject of why epidemiology IN GENERAL isn't a great basis for personal decision-making and why you should always talk to a clinician first But please, do go on

          It was a genuine impression you left me with after an answer to a tweet that appeared evasive. If you mute people through unclear communications, it's not my issue.

          Oh, like the time you called me a "jealous toad"? Pray tell, where was the miscommunication there?https://twitter.com/MacroFour/status/1014699995335831552 …

          Never mind the stories. I'm yet to see any dietitian, researcher or Dr publish their success statistics at managing diabetes or obesity like Virta has yet many like @GidMK act like jealous toads in criticism. Consumers are denied information to make a choice.
