I'm not sure if it's the correct place to post, but my intention is not to debate R. Peat theory, but to point to the fact how others are misinformed. I just finished reading an article on Mercola site and he recommends estrogen as something that prevents dementia. Also he warns against sugar and fructose, claiming that both lower important hormones. I've read some comments and of course most of them are affirming his theory, except from few, one especially moving from a woman with breast cancer, who points to the fact that estrogen is carcinogenic. This article made me upset. It's not that I believed that Mercola site is a very high quality source, but at least I believed it's relatively harmless.
Anyway, I was always pondering what is the relationship between these guys? I know that you can find Peat article on Mercola site, in general what he proposes is somewhat overlapping Peat recommendation, but also differs in important points (fructose is probably the main contention). Dr. Mercola must have read R. Peat.
The commentators there are another story. My favorite is one who claims that after eating ONE spoon of sugar your immune system shuts down. This is so absurd! Yet nobody is disagreeing with him.
It makes me so sad. Similarly, often people who try to eat more healthy start to eat more greens with canola oil dressing...
