Dr Who?

This is worth reading. I personally can’t bear the woman concerned, yet I know that she manages to convince many intelligent, well-educated people of the value of her ideas. (And yes, I too do find myself lingering by the shelves of her products in the supermarket, wondering if there is a miracle powder that would even out my energy levels – sometimes I’m bursting with energy – the biggest sign is that the house resembles a clean and tidy one – other times the house has to look after itself as I have to focus what energy I have got on the essentials – and the dream that a little bottle of powder or a pot of pills could give me a clean and tidy house all the time is very seductive.)

Thanks for the link! I’d read the “Bad Science” article in the Guardian about her one Saturday (last week, week before?) but don’t get a paper on weekdays normally so would have missed this!

That was really interesting! There’s all sorts of bad science out there and either someone is making a buck off of it or political hay out of it. It’s so hard to know who to believe anymore when it should be science! You know, theories, tests and countertests, etc.

But I did chuckle at the use of kerfuffle in the article.
