2013 studies not notable.

I intend to delete the last paragraph of main text, as the studies are of poor quality. One of these "studies" basically consisted of three testimonials. The other one was a single testimonial, presented as a study. They are not worthy of inclusion, not notable or anywhere near worthy of comment here.

Comments

Sorry, I can't summarize this in one sentence.

It's good that the non-studies he uses to support his conclusions have been removed. However, so have the real studies that he also uses in support of his conclusions. However, his conclusions (at least, his statements on a PBS special airing now on KOCE, as I write) that carbohydrates in general, and grains in particular, are responsible for all neurological disorders (Alzheimer's (and most other memory loss, not even rising to the level of dementia) and depression) and some other disorders (diabetes, etc.) should appear in the article. (I say, "etc.", because, as noted below, I'm not watching the show. I only caught a few sentences, and am taping it at my wife's request.)

I don't think I could improve the article (other than noting that the first critical article is quoting the second), because I believe his reasoning is absurd, and as noted in WP:FRINGE, there are few scientists willing to debate the issue. <redacted my detailed opinion as to the basis of my belief, before posting. It's not relevant. I'm not a medical expert.> Perhaps this argues against my second sentence above, because it gives undue weight to the implication that his conclusions are justified.

Still, we should be able to state his conclusions without commenting or implying whether they are accurate or justified. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:58, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering why this wiki page doesn't refer to David Perlmutter as a Doctor? Had I not clicked on the first few top web searches for this guy and saw him referred to as a Doctor or Neurologist, I would just have thought he was some guy who specializes in literature with an expert level of knowledge after reviewing this wiki entry. Wait..let me re-read it again… — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.88.222.106 (talk) 23:58, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Puzzling sources

The final linked source (#19, I think) leads to https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2016/04/21/instructor-criticized-for-comments/, which seems to have nothing to do with Perlmutter. It's about Katz being criticized, and I have to wonder why someone would add it. Jk180 (talk) 00:22, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Came here to say this. Guess I'll remove it. Paradox (talk) 21:56, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
