Over the years, Dr. Joseph Mercola has been cited on this forum as a reliable source of info on keto and related health issues.
He’s now featured as the #1 top disseminator among the “Disinformation Dozen” for spreading unscientific claims about the coronavirus vaccination (including: the shots “alter your genetic coding, turning you into a viral protein factory that has no off-switch,” they’re “a medical fraud” and that the injections do not prevent infections, provide immunity or stop transmission of the disease).
It’s also reported by the NYTimes that, having amassed a net worth of $100 million, he’s been tagged by the FTC for false/misleading claims and has agreed to refund about $3 million to customers.
QUESTION: What are your thoughts on whether his support for keto helps or hurts efforts to educate others on the benefits of dietary carb restriction? Does it even matter?
