- Actually, The_Tufts_University_Diet_and_Nutrition_Letter did an
- article on the "60 Minutes" presentation and pretty well shot it
- in the proverbial heart. It turns out that Morley Safer's report
- left out a LOT of rather inconvenient contradictory information.
- Check out Vol. 9, No. 12, February 1992 for further details...there's
- quite a long critique entitled "'60 Minutes' - Not Enough Time to
- Tell the Whole Story".
