Canan Karatay drew attention again with his latest statements. Karatay, whose statements such as “You will not eat bread, you will not eat rice, you will not eat bulgur, you will not eat oats, you will not eat oats, you will not eat pasta” in the past years are still fresh in the memories, this time claimed that rice causes hair loss in men.
Journalist Cüneyt Özdemir reacted harshly to Karatay's statements. In a statement on YouTube, Özdemir criticized Professor Canan Karatay's statements by saying, “Let's talk about Professor Karatay's nonsense that does not fit into medicine.” Özdemir said, “Every day we wake up to something new. I don't know if she is a guest on morning programs or where she is a guest, but here she says ‘put butter in tea’, ‘vegan means grain brain’ for vegans. Let's talk about food. Today, the latest one is don't eat rice because bad news for men is that hair falls out when you eat rice. None of them have any credibility whatsoever, they are completely bogus.”.
Cüneyt Özdemir stated that after Canan Karatay became famous, he tended to pontificate on everything and made such absurd statements.
