Gillian McKeith (also known as Dr Gillian McKeith although she does not have an accredited doctorate)
she claims that yeast is harmful and that the colours of foods are nutritionally significant
Many of her claims have been strongly disputed by members of the scientific community.
Asked about McKeith's advice, Amanda Wynne, Senior Dietician of the British Dietetic Association, said “We are appalled. I think it is obvious she hasn't a clue about nutrition. In fact her advice, if followed to the limit, could be dangerous.”
McKeith originally attended the University of Edinburgh and gained a degree in languages and business. Later she moved to the United States, where she worked in marketing and international business.
McKeith received a Master's degree and PhD via a distance learning programme from the American Holistic College of Nutrition, Alabama — now the Clayton College of Natural Health. Clayton College states that it is "accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board",[6] but this accreditation is not recognised by the United States Secretary of Education.[7] McKeith originally claimed, both on her website and in her book Dr Gillian McKeith's Living Food for Health, to have a PhD from the American College of Nutrition — by implication, the Florida-based institution of that name, rather than the unaccredited Clayton College of Natural Health. This claim has since been withdrawn. McKeith told The Sun she believed "a Spanish Guy on work assignment" had supplied the wrong qualifications data.
McKeith says she is a member of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants (AANC). This organisation has been criticised by Quackwatch for selling membership certificates to unqualified individuals.[10] In 2004, Ben Goldacre revealed that upon payment of $60 he had obtained a certificate showing his dead cat was a member.[11] Quackwatch claims that hamsters and poodles are also members
