		<description><![CDATA[Professor Patrick Holford is a popular media pundit who is celebrated for his scientific approach to nutrition. The mainstream media do not seem to care that his work is riddled with errors that substantially undercut some of the scientific claims that he makes: that is irritating but understandable, given the economics of advertising. Mainstream media may also find it difficult to admit that they were duped or indifferent to the accuracy of what they were offering. 

However, it does not explain why the University of Teesside persists in lending him academic credibility or why reputable scientists continue to be associated with him. Ironically, perhaps these people who should know better would only be prompted into appropriate action if the mainstream media were to cover his errors. Maybe Ben Goldacre will mention something in the next instalment of The Rise of the Lifestyle Nutritionists.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holfordmyths.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2425707&amp;post=29&amp;subd=holfordmyths&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
