CAMPBELL’S BLISTERING RESPONSE TO FUHRMAN — Dr. Colin Campbell has weighed in on the recent scandal surrounding Dr. Fuhrman’s weight loss study. Today we bring you Dr. Campbell’s statement, and look at how the FTC could deal with the many false statements Dr. Fuhrman made in the media about his study. Dr. Fuhrman has yet to explain several issues in this situation – including why he is still today using this false, bogus study to promote his products.

Specifically on Dr. Fuhrman’s weight loss study Russell related that she: analyzed the raw data on the study, and when she subtracted the end weights of Fuhrman’s patients from their beginning weights she found that their weight loss was inflated by 20 pounds, because those weights were subtracted from a much larger and heavier group. She reported this to Sarter and Fuhrman but she could not get them to print a retraction. She contacted Dr. Campbell to advise him of the problems and urged him to obtain the raw data because she believed the study should be retracted.
After Fuhrman’s study was “corrected,” Russell noted that not all errors had been fixed – the starting and ending measurements of blood pressure and cholesterol of the 19 participants remaining in the study were miscalculated in the same way the average weight had been. Errors in the erratum, just as the errors in the original study, all skewed the results to reports of greater losses and more impressive health improvements than the data supported.
