It’s been a rough few weeks for Pete Evans, who found himself at the centre of a massive public backlash after he advised a woman suffering from osteoporosis to cut dairy products from her diet.
Brisbane-based obstetrician Dr Brad Robinson delivered one of the great public smackdowns of Evans’ misinformed health advice last week, but it appears the professionals aren’t done yet.
Another leading Australian doctor — president of the Australian Medical Association, Dr Michael Gannon — has taken aim at the chef and My Kitchen Rules star’s nutritional beliefs, particularly the chef’s endorsement of raw, unpasteurised milk.
Dr Gannon is an obstetrician and gynaecologist who has been the AMA’s president since May this year.
“Rebels only, lol,” he captioned the image, which mocked public outrage at the controversial diet.

Pete Evans has a lot of followers. He has really good recipes.
Pete Evans is a chef, any delusions about this falls with the person who thinks hes a Doctor. But we all know no one is saying he is a Doctor! So why the media and Medical profession so angry and continue with a public smear campaign against him? Do these mystical media journalists and Medical professionals think we should not be entitled to Free will, Freedom or choice?
When people have real issues that GPs can't get to the bottom of, I suggest to people all the time go seek alternate advice from Naturopath, Nutritionist, Psychologist etc.. any appropriate specialist over a GP (generalist) who really won't give you more than 10mins, works like a charm every time, but still people have freewill to make that decision.
