This guy says the conventional wisdom in the medical profession is wrong. I don't know if he's right, but just repeating the conventional wisdom seems like an unenlightening response.
Problem is, that's all the columnist does as well. He states, over and over, that the conventional wisdom is wrong, but he never seems to get around to explaining why.
Incredibly weak article, IMO, regardless of the merits of what he's saying.
There's more than one medical authority and article cited (the 2007 piece, the more recent one, the WHO). It could be more detailed, I agree, but it's not like there's nothing there.
