Gregg,
Seems these Piled higher and Deepers have a few lawyers in their midst;
only an attorney could devine the difference between "giving dietary
advice" and making a "nutrition statement," or, as your first post put
it, a "position statement."
But I'll bite: What's the ASNS's "position statement" concerning the
Standard American Diet food pyramid? Before I pay heed to this group's
advice concerning a topic I know nothing about -- phytochemicals -- I'd
like to know the "position" it takes concerning an issue I've already
resolved for myself, viz: the efficacy of a high-carbohydrate,
high-fiber, grain-centric diet.
