I had a conversation w/ a reg. dietician about protien needs. She said I was eating way too much protein. This was her response to me about my resource (NROL):

It is very difficult to distinguish between a credible source and a non credible source b/c people work very hard to make their info. sound right. So if your're not an expert you'd never know. One way to tell if you have no background in nutritional sciences is that if they sell something then they are usually quacks almost 100% of the time. I really am trying to help because I am a nutrition professional (with real credentials and yearssss of schooling) and it frustrates me to see people who just make stuff up and make money off it (not you- the sites, books, etc.). If I gave misinfo. i'd lose my license- they have no license or professional credibility so they're free to say whatever they want.

How would you respond to that???
