I don't get it. If you can't trust researchers who perform studies to validate their results, then what is it which makes this guy trustworthy to you? He has done strictly less than that to validate his results.
I am not against validity through studies. But the approach/methodology taken in most studies on food/drugs are very limited in nature and often flawed giving skewed results (e.g. I hope everyone knows about the approach taken in dividing fat into 3 categories and how it is taken as reference to ruin health of so many humans over decades through refined oils). I totally agree with him in that regard.
