A new way to fight the battle of diabetes or a dangerous fad? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42154666
People have resorted to drinking 200 calorie drinks in an effort to control and in some cases rid themselves of diabetes, but as the article highlights 'Eating normal food is the hardest bit'. How can such poor nutrition/health recommendations make the news?
Don't the new, especially the BBC have a duty to report responsibly? Drinking 200 calorie drinks does not educate people about the impact of foods on the production of insulin, it doesn't help them to make informed choices and have a little control. I think this type of reporting is dangerous, along with the diet.
