Imagine this; you hear your doctor dispensing questionable advice that you know contradicts the latest science and demonstrably confuses two distinctly different topics. So, you call him on it.
What does he do?
He excuses himself from the exam room and sends in his lawyer to tell you everything is oaky and that his recommendations have been thoroughly researched by a phantom staff of "research professionals."

Just the other day a question appeared on Yahoo Answers that asked:
What is up with Mercury and Fish? If fish is so bad for people, why have Asian cultures eaten it for thousands of years with no negative impact? I love fish, it is great to lose weight and delicious. I am wondering why the government, and many others, are saying to limit our consumption of fish. If anybody knows the truth about what is going on please let me know.

Any dentist worth his salt (or sugar) can tell you the age old joke that reads something like, "ignore your teeth and they'll go away." However, the same cannot be said for NFI:

Dear Mr. Felling,
If you find yourself reporting on the UNVL canned tuna tests you might want to keep this quote in mind from the lead researcher on the project. And let's not be coy about what he is saying here-- despite his own research into mercury in canned tuna, he suggests "problems" might present themselves only if a consumer was eating canned tuna for every single meal, every single day.
