    Funny, she has been a dieticien and nutritional nurse for 20 years, but she's about 20 years behuind the curve when it comes to research.

    Oddly enough, she dowsn't include her e-mail address!

    UPDATE: Found her listing at John Hoppkins Medicine. They had a comment spot at the bottom of the page. Doubt if anyone will read my comments, but I left them just the same!

      How do you become a nutrition nurse when you lack the comprehension to differentiate ketosis and ketoacidosis?

        My question is, how do you land a job at a place like John Hopkins. Its like she's still bleeding patients and using leaches to cure epilepsey.

        Probably ate some bad mushrooms in the 80's!

                I recently had an internet debate with a registered dietician who specifically treats diabetics but did not recognize this distinction. She tried to tell me that ketones were bad, period.
