Although I certainly don't have time to deeply pursue every point-of-disagreement between bloggers with differing nutritional perspectives, sometimes when the disagreement is over specific, "facts." I just have to know for myself, who is really misrepresenting the science. It was a recent such foray that led me to yet another alarmist post declaring that vegan diets are dangerously deficient in many
