Oh dear I really question that MFP as a site should include this on their blog as by posting it is they are supporting such ideas. Luckily my liver and kidneys work very well and I've just come from the toilet (TMI) so as with everyone else my body is perfectly capable of cleansing itself

    Writer, lawyer, and healthy-eating proponent, Jennifer Pantin -
    , Huh? I do not see Nutritionist or RD in her credentials. In my opinion she should not be posting on behalf of MFP.

    Of course, she doesn't mention what toxins are eliminated.

    She posted another blog on MFP a few months ago that was was debatable on facts regarding harmful effects of animal protein.

    That's horrifying. I knew when MFP started "their" advice blog it was a bad idea. I'm actually disappointed in MFP and whoever allowed that blog post to be published. I see far better advice offered by some of the long time members from this site.

    I've always felt the best parts of MFP come from it's extensive database and it's knowledgeable users.

    The rest? The changes they make, the people they choose to promote? Just one worse decision after another. Helpful users are banned and they promote blogs from people with no clue what they're talking about.

    I am lucky to have found good advice from people who know what they're talking about, not because of MFP. But in spite of it.

    THIS.

    Times a million.

    Because soliciting blogs from random people instead of some of their most successful long term users makes a ton of sense.

    Her credentials are that she lives in Brooklyn and has a kitchen. A kitchen, people. If there's a mandolin slicer and a sous vide circulator in there they might give her the whole damn site.

    Agree 100% This is not the first blog post I have rolled my eyes at either.

    MFP has an opportunity and an audience big enough to really do something revolutionary: post sensible reasonable diet and fitness advice without pushing products. This is almost unheard of in the diet/fitness industry.

    Sadly, they've decided to post crap articles that aren't backed by any science and just regurgitate crap from other websites instead.
