Dear PregNancy, wikipedia's purpose is to write an encyclopedia. Its goal is to write articles about notable things. People may use google themselves, and adding links that give some free advices means endorsing these advices, while we have no idea whether these advices are sound or just a snake oil. If a particular dietologist or an obstetrician is very famous and reputable, one may write an article about him and his advices, so that people may see who gives an advice and decide whether to follow it or not. mikka (t) 19:19, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you to pointing out that there were other dubious links. I will review them and delete some. As for calories-count, I find it useful because it provides information about numbers of calories in foods. As for advise, for my 55 years of life I've seen dozens or radically different advices, each of them based on "newest research". It is quite possible that with increasing life expectancy different kinds of products pop up as top killer. When a man lived 40 years on average surely butter and meat were not among the major health threats :-) mikka (t) 01:07, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
