Experts from Harvard vs. Experts from Hollywood

I need to vent.

Earlier in the week, a panel of experts released the results of a study finding that special diets help or don’t help autistic kids — or that food allergies, food sensitivities, or gut problems cause autism.

The panel, chaired by Harvard’s Timothy Buie, MD, included 28 experts in 12 scientific disciplines, including child psychiatry, pediatric allergy, pediatric gastroenterology, and pediatric nutrition. The panel evaluated scientific evidence regarding gastrointestinal disorders in all forms of autism, collectively called autism spectrum disorder or ASD.

I’m not upset by the study. I’m upset by this segment on ABC.

I have always loved Diane Sawyer, and am surprised she featured Jenny McCarthy in her report instead of the scientists.

Maybe I’m a little jealous because both Jenny and Diane look so great.

Oh well. I’m done now.

What are your thoughts?
