Where I disagree with him is about Ludwig

In the grand scheme of things, he's an ally in the fight to improve the American diet.


Anyone who spreads confusion through reductionism is an enemy of our health and well being because he also promotes failure, cynicism, and complacency. So if we have a spectrum where Dr. D./Novick, et al, are the most helpful and Dr. Oz is a dangerous clown, Ludwig is much closer to Oz. Close enough so that you smell the dangerous clown odor all over him.
