Most doctors get virtually zero formal education on nutrition, so in many cases the advice they dispense is personal anecdote - about as reliable as the diet advice on the cover of a women's magazine at the newsstand.
...and Diet Coke gets declared the winnah and still champeen because it has more caffeine! :thumbsup:
yeah I know I had a few drs who thought they knew their *kitten* from a hole in the ground.
I'm fortunate because my primary care doctor specialized in nutrition/sports nutrition-medicine before he switched over to general practice. On the check-in form it asks how much caffeine you have daily, and in what context you consume it, and he's always more uptight about my coffee drinking, than my diet coke intake. I 'may' drink my weight in coffee every day2
