Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin
"I never joined the dots that the failure was not theirs, it was mine. And that's horrible, isn't it? Imagine 25 years of— I was blaming patients for their failure to lose weight, and it was my failure because I didn't give them advice that worked."

He prescribed extreme measures like two tablespoons of All-Bran daily with skim milk, advice that consistently failed. This admission highlights systemic failures in dietary guidance from medical professionals.
