Exposing dietary and medical misinformation because
EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT DIET AND HEALTH IS PROBABLY WRONG
I have written these works because:
"On the large scale, history shows that an uncritical and misinformed populace is a breeding ground for all manner of intolerant beliefs and practices. The discovery that truth has to fight for its survival is not a pleasant one, but is an essential realisation in maintaining civilisation. And in a society as open and susceptible to fraud as ours is, truth needs all the help it can get." Anthony Garrett.
Before continuing on this website
- or any similar one -
take a few minutes to read this short extract from
Jerome K Jerome's book, Three Men in a Boat.
Its message is well worth considering, and it won't take long.
Soy Online Service resurrectedSoyOnlineService.co.nz went online on 27 April 1999. With no industry connections and not funded by any outside interest groups, its mission was "to uncover the truth about soy and to provide consumers with an alternative opinion to the plethora of criminal and dangerous lies that issue from the soy industry". Informative, well researched, fully referenced, and reliable, it became the largest repository of anti-soy research and clinical and personal experience in the world. That is until 2011 when, in April of that year, the couple who owned and ran the website, Valerie and Richard James, were both killed. And, you know, I have not been unable to find any mention of a cause of their death anywhere on the Internet. There was speculation that BigAgribusiness may have had a part in their demise but, as yet, I can find no evidence to support this. Anyway, their death need not be the end of their work; and I believe strongly that their research should again be made easily available. To that end - and in memory of Valerie and Richard James - I have published the whole of the SoyOnlineService website here. |
