Then again, the number one self-appointed expert on food on this food
newsgroup is Sheldon. Just ask him. I don't know about the audio
newsgroups, but I am subscribed to a medical group (sci.med.vision), and
the consensus among the loudest people is that medical people know
nothing about medicine. Only True Science people know anything, and no,
these aren't people with credentials and experience in science, they are
engineers.
