Come on - "outrageous" claim? That's a pretty strong word! If so many health concious people didn't agree I would say the position may be a little unusual but in fact it is quite common.

Main Entry: out·ra·geous
Pronunciation: \(ˌ)au̇t-ˈrā-jəs\
Function: adjective
Date: 14th century
1 a: exceeding the limits of what is usual b: not conventional or matter-of-fact : fantastic
2: violent, unrestrained
3 a: going beyond all standards of what is right or decent <an outrageous disregard of human rights> b: deficient in propriety or good taste <outrageous language> <outrageous manners>

Also, I see many, many opinions bandied about on TFP. They don't support these opinions with peer reviewed research and links. In fact, most of what I see on TFP is opinion backed up by other opinion. This isn't some college class, it's a board. Hell, even the supposed peer reviewed links, etc., are internet links and we all know how trustworthy the internet can be. You can even fabricate links to publications like the Journal of Medicine and other publications.

I would have to say lighten up a little.
