    It is a waste of my time to refute every crackpot webpage that gets posted
    for review. When a site obviously is full of misinformation and
    pseudoscience, it is inefficient to go through and "prove" each item is
    wrong. More than inefficient, it is dangerous. If I fail to prove
    something wrong, I end up believing some of the pseudoscience.

    Who deanimated and made you boss?

    Why should I stand by quietly while people get duped into going to a
    pseudoscience website? Why shouldn't I point out that this site is full of
    misinformation and people should be careful before they start trusting this
    site as a source of nutritional advice? Nutrition is dangerous enough
    without people taking their information from sites like these.
