I thought that the women of Inky Circus were going to do something like that but it has never transpired. I don't know if that is because women's magazines would be more unreceptive than most other media - possibly because their advertisers would object? Shrugs - who understands the ways of advertisers?

Echoing JonHW, good to see critical commentary following PH into the bastions of celebrity/shopping/gossip mindlessness. I fantasise about a crack team of scientifically literate women taking to task the editors of women’s magazines who continually and uncritically promote such people.

How ridiculous. A simple google search would have brought this up and saved everyone the nonsense.

Thanks Ted – yes, it was somewhat unfortunate. Good to see a critical comment on the article.

Even worse – it’s truncated in the sidebar to “Why statins should not be prescribed”! I have left my two cents on the matter in the Comments box.
