| Everyone who participates in sci.med.nutrition is on a diet in order to
improve their health, and promote their personal longevity, NOT to lose
weight. Furthermore, many participants believe in taking nutritional
supplements just as much as they believe in eating a healthy diet. |
| You dont get it do you? Youre the one who started cross-posting to
alt.support.diet.low-carb. So anyone responding to those posts would be
in BOTH groups. Besides, the definition of diet isnt only `lose
weight; its also `what a person eats or drinks daily. Which would
definitely fall into the same category as good nutrition. And you really
dont seem to be listening to the low-carb people; many of them report
improved health.
As you state...
sci.med.nutrition is:
to discuss food, food preparation, eating habits, etc., (including
social, medical, and psychological aspects, etc.) as it relates to the
quality and longevity of human life.
....many of the a.s.d.l-c people are doing just that.
You further quoted...
...but does not say discussions are ONLY limited to scientific.
And if personal success stories about an individual diet are no-nos,
where does that leave your reports about the Mediterranean Diet? |
| RATIONALE:
Right now, there are a significant number of posts on sci.med.nutrition
that are either sales pitches for nutritional products or cross-posted
arguments over the ethics of eating meat. The ethical considerations
for eating meat are on topic themes for talk.politics.animals and
rec.food.veg - they are not on topic for sci.med.nutrition. Sales pitches
are not welcome in sci groups. The on topic discussions have become
the minority in the last year, and as a result many regular contributors
have left the newsgroup. |
| Im writing to invite everyone at alt.support.arthritis to take a free
subscription to Nutrition News Focus. I hope I am not offending
anyone by posting to an alternative health discussion group, and will
explain my rationale for posting here at the bottom of my note. In
any case I think youll find our information quite relevant to the
effort to cope with disease. |
