Are you at the same college as Gimpy then? Sounds like you are. Maybe you can fill me on what an FE college is and which one.

especially as it was only last September that he was offering thinly veiled legal threats at Professor David Colquhoun for having the temerity to highlight inaccurate claims on vitamin C and AZT

I don’t mean to derail here.
I know Ben Goldacre’s R4 programmes were about the science, or rather the lack of it, behind nutritionists’ claims. But I feel the facility with which all manner of altmeds and sCAMmers resort to legal process in order to hide the fact that their claims have no real evidential basis needs to be emphasised. There is a section of the public who unfortunately don’t seem to set much store by scientific literacy, and are easily persuaded that a “nice”, “honest” man, a “celebrity” like Mr Holford surely wouldn’t abuse the legal process because he is an “expert”.
The lack of credible evidence for product efficacy and the use of legal threats to hide the fact go hand in hand, in my view. One might even say that the legal threats are a part of the marketing strategy.
