Reinstate Teicholz on Food Policy Panel

Always room for dissenting points of view. Let Nina back in, at the very least read her great book.

Open discussion, introduction of recent scientific evidence, time to remove conventional wisdom and dogma and put science back into nutritional science, food and drug industries have no place in nutritional discussion.

Do the right thing!

We need more voices speaking for food recommendations that are actually healthy and not just the foods/food groups that will line the pockets of processed food producers.

Not everyone thrives -- or even does moderately well -- on a low-fat diet completely devoid of animal fats and proteins. Many people, in fact, fare terribly in the long-term when they become deficient in some of the nutrients that are very low or are altogether lacking in such a dietary approach. The incredibly diverse background of the U.S. population and the concept of "biochemical individuality" mean that one dietary strategy does not fit all for those who are looking to achieve and maintain a healthy weight and also reverse chronic disease processes. A variety of voices should be included in discussions about nutrition policy as long as their positions are supported by rigorous science. We may not have been able to say this about diets that are lower in carbohydrate and higher in fat fifty years ago, but at this point, the body of research is strong and substantial, and it does the American people a terrible disservice to have it summarily silenced.

All round balance on a panel is required.

Hard to turn around the Titanic but it must be done.

This is a panel set up to discuss an important issue, so debate is necessary, not confirmation of failed ideas, just to save face.

This is an industry with problems and their power over the nutrition guidelines must be brought to light. Please reinstate Ms. Teicholz.

I reject censorship by those unwilling to hear the truth.

Balanced Fair Educate not propaganda. Freedom of speech.

Good science needs strong debate

Both science and policy are advanced through informed debate from different perspectives.

A Food Policy Panel should involve a well rounded discussion on ALL aspects of nutrition. Following the same advice we have been following for years just isn't working! Nina has some incredible evidence based research on saturated fats and polyunsaturated oils. Science evolves and there is no doubt that the diet we are currently eating (on recommendation from policy makers) is not making us healthier. Nutrition needs to be brought to the table and addressed to not only manage chronic disease but to prevent it in the first place!

We need a BIG change to happen in our medical and food industry. Let's start by allowing a wider perspective that is valid, not the crap the ADA states. Let's make a positive difference and reinstate Nina.

She shouldn't have been removed in the first place.

How bloody ridiculous....like frightened mice!! Its a debate and not to be one sided silly potato man and food industry nonsense..

For complete balanced opinion please re-instate Nina on the food policy panel

What makes this all the more odd is that when I've heard Nina she's very polite and well-spoken. Why would the other panel members be frightened to interact with her?

So you've removed someone who can speak to the issues at hand and replaced her with someone who has a vested interest in the outcome. For shame!
