Pete Evans slammed for 'potentially damaging' paleo diet advice to osteoporosis sufferer
ABCDoctors around Australia have criticised dietary advice by celebrity chef Pete Evans who told a person diagnosed with osteoporosis to remove dairy from her diet. Evans responded by saying he would "strongly suggest removing dairy and eating the paleo way as calcium from dairy can remove the calcium from your bones". Professor Peter Ebeling, medical director of Osteoporosis Australia and head of medicine at Monash University, said Evans was quoting old data which said calcium might be acidic and caused bone resorption. "He's not pulled his views out of thin air — they are based on his extensive reading, personal discussions with health experts and the enormous body of testimonial letters he has received from people who have experienced benefits from paleo," they wrote on Dr Robinson's Facebook post.
