On Global BC TV Vancouver BC this morning

[Ron4310]

The Global TV station in Vancouver, B.C. often has a doctor/nutritionist on. This morning she was telling us that chocolate, eggs, butter and brie cheese are good for the cardio vascular system, including the heart, and the cholesterol you eat has no effect on your heart or veins. Also she stated that saturated fat does no harm. I'm willing to bet the farm that she is funded by the meat and dairy industry or at least the studies are.

She should have her license revoked. Kate Rheaume Bleue Naturopathic Doctor. For shame !

Agree!

That's a public diss-service of Global BCTV , so now perhaps they can have Dr. McDougall or a McDougall trained physician on the show to set the record straight?

I was heartbroken this week when Mairlyn on Cityline, who was presenting vegetarian food, started off by saying it was very difficult to get one's nutrients on a vegan diet and one had to be very careful to get enough iron because one could easily become anemic and die! Then later on, she said some of her friends were vegan and very healthy but if your kids come home from school and say they want to be vegan then it's a red light sign that they may be developing an eating disorder like anorexia. OMG Talk about fear mongering!

You need a licence to be a nutritionist? Not here. only dietitians

You need a license here too, but doctors have licenses also and look what they know and tell us.

Obviously (because the subject is getting the stage) we are winning.
