Yeah, I try to take most articles like this not too very seriously, but still there is that little nagging doubt sometimes. I really think most foods are okay for some people to eat if eaten in moderation and if you are not allergic to the foods or they make you sick or something like that.
You're welcome. Since this is kind of relevant to my classes and work and all that, this stuff hits me in a spot where I just can't let something that's not entirely truthful slide. If you do have that nagging doubt, the best thing you can do is just learn a little bit of basic skepticism and critical thinking so you know how to approach articles like this and better tease out what's distorted. I find a basic understanding of logical fallacies goes a LONG way in spotting hogwash.
