Dr. John McDougall joins lawsuit against new federal dietary guidelines

I will spend my own time as I see fit. Any comments about the links about the quack and his unhealthy diet?

Good job on the research and debunking.

Yet another quack moron exposed.
 
Thanks for caring, Dr McDougall.

Dr. John McDougall joins lawsuit against new federal dietary guidelines | The Press Democrat

Santa Rosa physician and nutrition expert Dr. John McDougall has joined a lawsuit seeking to overturn one key change to the new federal dietary guidelines released last week.

McDougall, who champions a starch-based vegan diet, is part of a group calling for the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services to reinstate a dietary recommendation limiting cholesterol consumption to no more than 300 milligrams per day.

McDougall and three other physicians have joined the Washington-based nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in the suit against Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Mathews Burwell.

The lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, raises concerns that food business groups have used their financial power to influence recent dietary research and have put “industry pressure” on guideline committee members who recommended removing the previous numeric limit on cholesterol.

“Their recommendations are hurting my patients,” McDougall said Tuesday.
No!!! :eek:
 
I actually bought his book over 20 years ago and gave some of the recipes a try. They were horrible. We even "doctored up the 'chili'"... didn't help.

Well, well, well - and the truth comes out.
 
he doesn't smoke or eat bad foods. He's a doctor.

Lots of doctors out there that eat healthy and don't smoke. And I'll bet that most of them consume more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol. Your "doctor" apparently wants to get rid of all consumption of cholesterol. Which is stupid because your body needs cholesterol. Even your own article says that the AMA suggests around 13 grams of cholesterol. That's a huge contrast compared to your doctors suggested .3 grams.

We can safely discount the advice of the "doctor".

and he stated why he suggests no more than 300 milligrams, he didn't say eliminate it.
 
I guess if you find testimony from patients who lost weight and got healthier "amusing" you must have a lot of time on your hands on top of patrolling my posts. :)

Testimonials are picked through for only the best results. Statistics and data is what you should be posting, not propaganda. But it looks like this bit of propaganda has been dealt with in this thread.

Statistics and data require research and intellect.

Anything less is vacant opinion based on bull**** sources.
