I can scarcely believe that hump-backed, litigious fake doctor Gillian McKeith still receives airtime.

The weasel-faced aduki bean freak reacts poorly to criticism and often wheels in her lawyer husband to wave around some scary looking lawsuits in the general direction of anyone who dares step up and say ‘hang on a minute McKeith, you’re talking bullshit.

Her show, You Are What You Eat, is now syndicated on both Australian and American television and her ill-informed, ludicrous advice is thrust upon two more countries.

But McKeith, a vexatious litigant who claims scientific qualifications (she’s no longer allowed to call herself Dr, given that she’s…um….not a Dr) harangues/threatens anyone who dares question her so-called advice.

It is widely accepted and encouraged within the scientific community to refute and argue the evidence and research of peers, not slap anyone in a white coat with some legal threats.

Dr Ben Goldacre of www.badscience.net sums it up better than I ever could:

She talks endlessly about chlorophyll, for example: how it’s “high in oxygen” and will “oxygenate your blood” – but chlorophyll will only make oxygen in the presence of light. It’s dark in your intestines, and even if you stuck a searchlight up your bum to prove a point, you probably wouldn’t absorb much oxygen in there, because you don’t have gills in your gut. In fact, neither do fish. In fact, forgive me, but I don’t think you really want oxygen up there, because methane fart gas mixed with oxygen is a potentially explosive combination.

Indeed.

But what troubles me is the likes of McKeith is allowed to go on national television and broadcast her erroneous claims in a high octane and convincing manner. Let me assure you, dear blogees, a diet rich in aduki beans, lentils, broccoli and seaweed might make your hair a bit shiny, but you’ll probably drop dead from boredom and depression before too long. On another note, take a long, hard look at McKeith (if you dare) and ask yourself, if I eat all that, will I look like her? I bet the fear alone will have you reaching for the Danish pastry.

She’s even attempted to sue a little known blogger. Bring it on.

On second thoughts, I will have some chips
