The Fear Babe:
Shattering Vani Hari's Glass House
au: Marc Draco, Kavin Senapathy, Mark Alsip
http://www.amazon.com/The-Fear-Babe-Shattering-Haris/dp/069250981X
Released earlier this year (2015)
This book was written to address with explanation, nearly every myth described by "Food Babe".
I've got it on order.
Food Babe also responds to critics HERE. In this response, she resorts to re-posting "hate posts" about her, from the average anonymous troll-thugs.....and then acting as if these are her critics.
In fact, Food Babe seems to be frequently responding to her critics.
But now there's this book too.
I'll admit, there should be more collaborative books like this, targeting popular people who spread online myths.

There's always been opposition to Food Babe's claims. In April, Yvette d'Entremont (Science Babe) wrote the article "The "Food Babe" is full of Shit" on Gawker, of which Food Babe responded to, on her SITE."While it might seem excessive to spend over 400 pages debunking the ravings of one person, The Fear Babe does more than that. It serves as a primer on complicated, easily-misunderstood subjects that the media often seems like it can’t cover accurately. Concepts like genetically modified organisms, toxicity, what chemicals actually do, and gluten intolerance are hard to talk about in an accurate, simple way. Food Babe takes advantage of that to fill her readers’ heads with flawed logic, misinformation, and a desperate need to buy the products she’s selling. Fear is easy, science is hard."

These bullies have begun to band together to attack and terrorize media publications that feature our hard work and they’ve even started an unethical ruthless campaign to write “one star” reviews about my book that isn’t even released yet attempting to silence new investigations and research into the food industry. They even try to intimidate and outright lie in order to advance their message – taking games right from the Tobacco industry playbook creating a smear campaign against me. Some of their antics include creating fake social media profiles with my likeness, stealing and posting my copyrighted material, modifying my photos inappropriately, and posting my private personal data publicly and even sending me death threats.
Part of the reason I am responding now is because their messages have started to infiltrate the mainstream media. Seemingly reputable news organizations even linked to the hate groups – quoting one of their spokespeople and repeated their ridiculous and biased messages as if they have any merit.
Obviously, some powerful entities in the chemical and food industries have a financial incentive to try to discredit me in the work we have all done together.
