==Ornish diet is not a vegan diet== |

==Creation of this article== |
|
|
I just drafted this article, and was surprised that no one had yet done so, as Dr. Ornish is well-known both among physicians and in pop culture- and a number of Misplaced Pages articles already link here. I know it's now a stub, and will expand shortly when time permits...of course I look forward to seeing others do so too. |

I added a citation and explanation for the RCT that established this result. Basically, Ornish et al measured atherosclerotic progression by coronary arterial angiography. Dr. Ornish has done a number of other studies corroborating this result in the years since, which I can add later as time permits. |

The sources used in the section mentioning Steve Jobs supposed diet being attributed to Dean Ornish are unverifiable: The tech.fortune.com link mentions nothing about Dean Ornish that I can find and the skepticblog.com link has no verifiable proof listed in it other than a link to another one of its pages where waiters that happen to have served Jobs and Ornish together seem to be speculating, and even then, they didn't even say that they thought Ornish prescribed him a diet of any kind. This section attributing Dean Ornish with prescribing any kind of special diet to cure Jobs cancer should be removed because of lack of verifiable evidence. ] (]) 04:03, 21 October 2011 (UTC) |

== Criticism? == |
|
|
|
|
|
I am wondering if we can put a section on criticism in the article. I have found that quackwatch - which many wikipedia articles have referred to - has this article mentioning Dr. Ornish endorsing unscientific works |
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Hearing/gorski2.html has mentioned various people that criticized him: |
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Richard Pasternak director of preventive cardiology at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, |
|
|
Dr. Robert Eckel, Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center |
|
|
Dr. Frank Sacks nutrition professor at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health |
|
|
|
|
|
Btw, I don't like mentioning quackwatch as a reliable source but many wikipedians have done it in the past. I also do not want to defame Dr. Ornish in anyway I just want to present various views on him. |

I'm for putting any studies or scientific critiques into the article. I have however removed the one sentence controversy section because it contained no information about the controversy and only cited one mediocre article that is all strawman and clearly misrepresents Dean Ornish's diet to defend high fat/protein diets.] (]) 06:33, 4 August 2015 (UTC) |

:I restorted the text, with in-text attribution to one article (rather than a general "disputed" in Misplaced Pages's voice).

I think until we have a well written statement on the controversy, it should not be mentioned. You could put the identical unaltered statement on any nutritionist or dietician's page. It doesn't actually list any facts, it just says it's debated. All diets are debated. Without encyclopedic information, it doesn't belong in the encyclopedia. And that reference is crap: it's an opinion piece with a better rebuttal attached to it. I think it should be removed or rewritten.] (]) 20:58, 4 August 2015 (UTC) |
|
|
:On review, I think the level of sourcing is probably inadequate to dispute his assertions; they probably need to close to ] level sourcing for that critique, which this source does not qualify. As such, I self-reverted and removed. As a side note, I think much of this article seems unsourced. We should proably source or remove some particularly emotive language, ("landmark", etc) unless it can be well sourced. ] (]) 21:10, 4 August 2015 (UTC) |

I still feel that making an entire section for one sentence about one article is giving undue weight. There is a ] which is against WP:Falsebalance which is part of the WP:NPOV policy. When people click on a wiki biography, one of the first things they notice is if there is a 'controversy' section. This section doesn't even explain the disagreement, it merely says that one person disagrees. If you want to reference the article maybe it should say "Dean Ornish debates SciAm author". It's a more accurate description of what happened and keeps a link to the criticism in the article without giving the impression that Dean Ornish is viewed as any more "controversial" than any other health guru.] (]) 19:38, 17 October 2015 (UTC) |

I'm not sure that I understand why my edit was reverted. What do you mean "the references notes it at the top for all to easily see"? What reference says what thing at the top of where? The article cited is a critique followed by a rebuttal and a final counterpoint (have you read it?). I don't think it's fair to state that the article is critical but remove any other relevant details about what the article states. In fact, one sentence with one flimsy reference shouldn't even be its own section and needs to be expanded or merged into another section. The mention in the lead seems more than adequate for how little information exists on the subject. And if the article as it stands is written by two authors, one for and one against, it makes it a flimsy citation in the first place (it's really an op-ed piece in a 'scientific' magazine). That and the article is really poorly done. It's one long straw man argument that goes to great lengths to present Dean Ornish's arguments inaccurately (hence why Dean rebutted and scientific american published his response). If the magazine thinks Dean's rebuttal is important enough to include, then why don't we?Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 04:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC) |

:Sorry my edit summary wasn't clear. At the very top of the SciAm reference is a notice that it was updated with a response from Ornish, "Editor's Note: Our April 22 article elicited a lengthy response from Dean Ornish, which we publish here, along with a rebuttal from Melinda Wenner Moyer." They even updated the byline, "By Melinda Wenner Moyer and Dean Ornish | Updated June 1, 2015 ". And the title is "Why Almost Everything Dean Ornish Says about Nutrition Is Wrong.

I propose new section that describes his program - the Spectrum, AKA the Ornish Diet, which he presents in his book and talks (which have been before some rather large (~5000-head) audiences.) |

Hmm. Seems the name "the Spectrum" has been deprecated. Doesn't look like the program has changed, but now it's called "Dr. Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease®", and the "Ornish Reversal Program" on ornish's site. It's called "the Ornish Spectrum" in 2015. ] says "When there is a discrepancy between the term most commonly used by reliable sources and the term that uses for themselves, use the term that is most commonly used by reliable sources; if it isn't clear which is most used, use the term that uses." (Even though it nominally covers people and groups, I think it's appropriate to follow its guidance.) |

In regard to this edit , the Ornish diet is not a vegan diet. It has always included egg whites and non-fat dairy products. The secondary sources on the article are reliable that document this, you can also find the information on Ornish's own website "''Non-fat dairy foods (no more than 2 servings/day) and egg whites are included''" and "''A low-fat, plant-based approach that includes a variety of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes (and nonfat dairy and egg whites if you’re following the Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease) will provide you with more than adequate nutrition as well as delicious food with a bounty of health benefits''" . I am not sure why some in the vegan community still want to insist the Ornish diet is entirely plant-based. The diet also allows fish oil supplements. ] (]) 15:50, 24 October 2023 (UTC) |
