Lucy Elkins writes in today’s Daily Mail: “Avoid oily fish, cut out all dairy foods, use more supplements”: it's the kind of advice that flies in the face of conventional thinking on healthy eating. Yet, amazingly, this is what I was told to do to improve my health by so-called 'dietary experts' on the internet.
Having typed 'dietary advice' into a popular search engine, Lucy received over 100,000 listings and writes about the concern she has – and we share – about the unqualified advice (what she describes as ‘often wrong and sometimes dangerous’) that is given on many nutrition websites.
