Terms & Conditions

I am not a doctor!!!

This website is not a source of medical advice!! Bear in mind that any random person with access to server space can create a website and put health information on the internet, but RANDOS ON THE INTERNET ARE NOT A STAND-IN FOR ACTUAL MEDICAL ADVICE FROM AN ACTUAL DOCTOR WHO HAS EARNED AN ACTUAL MEDICAL DOCTORATE. If you’re having heart trouble, or if you’re obese and trying to lose weight, or if you’re struggling with any other sort of medical/health problem, I hope to high Heavens you’re under the supervision of an actual professional who’s earned a medical doctorate and is in good standing with their medical board.

The internet isn’t a substitute for a doctor!!!!

The internet isn’t a substitute for a doctor!!!!

The internet isn’t a substitute for a doctor!!!!

The internet is full of crackpots and lunatics trying to make various dubious medical claims of questionable scientific merit, and I hope you won’t put your health in the hands of random internet crackpots. Anyone can make a website just as I did, and anyone can make any sort of claim about anything. I have absolutely no background or training as a dietician whatsoever. Always be wary of health advice you read online.

Owner might link to other sites for fun/information, but Owner doesn’t have any control any of those sites. I don’t monitor those other sites, and I can’t control whatever the site owners decide to do. So if I post a link to another site, and the website owners go crazy and change that content to something super-offensive and heinous, be aware that I have no control over that and can’t be held legally responsible for it. When you click links to third-party sites, you do that at your own risk. When you leave my site and navigate to another site, the terms/rules/conditions here at cardiac-cuisine.com no longer apply.
