  response to  glutenfreegirl's post Questionable source for this article

  glutenfreegirl, please clarify

  Thanks for calling the questionable source for this to our attention. You wrote that you called "the magazine"--you mean Good Magazine, right? When did you call? Did you ever get a response? ... I would like Good Magazine to provide a link to the source so the the data can be verified. And if the data isn't verifiable, they should offer a correction. It's irresponsible journalism to present inaccurate information as fact, especially considering how easily bad information can spread on the internet. In my web search (on 8/19/08), I found a bunch of sites that seemed to quote the same data and the same source. Since the original source doesn't appear to exist online, I am guessing they got the information from this site...
  So sites like Good Magazine have a responsibility to make sure that their information is accurate, and to correct that information when it is found to be inaccurate.
