LOL. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but you often write about nutrition? Although you said your area of expertise is study design/epi. So I'm guessing you have to do the "ask the expert" think re: nutrition content? So, now it's my turn: Whose experts? Whose science?

And I quote tweeted you because you used the phrase, "I check with an expert" so unproblematically. That's not a slight - just explaining why it caught my eye. My point being that "expertise" is problematic, most especially in nutrition.

Is it though? Or are there several key areas where experts disagree that are big news, while the vast majority of things are quietly agreed on?
