Simple Effective Weight Loss

"To say that a body of knowledge contains simple answers which those who have studied it for years do not perceive, is to ask for their outraged condemnation.

"But history shows that more often than not this is exactly the way knowledge develops."

BW: What do other scientists and nutritionists think of the threshold theory?

AAA: That depends on the specialist. The competent ones accept it provisionally as a "working hypothesis" - which means an interesting new proposition to be noted and checked out experimentally in due course.

The other kind tends to view it as a threat... to their self-esteem, or to their social and professional standing, or to their grants and business ventures, or whatever.

Of course, this fearful reaction from such people occurs during the presentation of every new idea. It's normal.

However, it's also unfortunate, because many of these people go into automatic "rejection-mode" and immediately start jumping up and down shouting how awful it is and making a lot of noise that just confuses laymen and others who might otherwise benefit from the new ideas much earlier.

You don't hear from the real investigators as quickly because they need much longer to get their experiments or other evaluations designed and organized and carried out.

BW: How do you react to this?

AAA: Well, the jumpers are absolutely entitled to state their opinion - even if it's wrong. But it is wrong and I must categorically assert this so other people won't be misled.

The way people can decide who's right is to read the book (at least the free samples) and check my references. I'm happy to take my chances with those who will do their homework.

BW: Has there been much "jumping"?

AAA: More than I'd like  (I'd like none at all )  but far less than the amount of support I'm getting, and that's very gratifying. We're still in early stages though.
