tifosi – avoiding all these foods would certainly make it near-impossible to eat a balanced diet. Re shares in supplement companies, does Holford own any now he sold Health Products for Life? Of course, he still has a competing interest in supplements, either way…

re. why granny smith apples should be avoided – on the need to avoid these, I’m with Holford. Clearly, they’re nasty: about the only fruit I really don’t like… Not sure why the need for the health claims, though.

Point well taken, Tifosi.

Granny Smith – surely some personal animus at work here because otherwise??

Hmm, if you avoided all those foods you’d be left with water and a dire need to take supplement pills. Given his shares in supplement providers does Holford also own a stake in Evian?

Soylent Green here we come!

Ah, that would be because they can taste quite sour so they obviously have “more” in than other apples which don’t taste as sour and therefore have “less”. Makes sense to me!

A not entirely serious question maybe, but why Granny Smith apples in particular ?

Yep, definitely irritating.

It is a little irritating that when you make progress on improving one site, it doesn’t carry over into anybody perceiving that they need to edit the others to make them consonant.
