Wikipedia: "John A. McDougall, M.D., is an American physician and author whose philosophy is that degenerative disease can be prevented and treated with a diet of whole, unprocessed, low-fat plant foods, especially starches such as potatoes, rice, and beans, and which excludes all animal foods (except honey) and vegetable oils." [and] McDougall's philosophy is controversial and Quackwatch lists his newsletter as one of the non-recommended ones that "promote misinformation, espouse unscientific theories, contain unsubstantiated advice, are insufficiently skeptical, and/or fail to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources of advice." |
