In this case, one side is citing at least one source from a world reknowned organization that is respected to actually know what health is.

The other side has no sources provided whatsoever.



You won't get to facts via appealing to authority.

WHO has been wrong for example in regards to meat and cancer: http://www.diagnosisdiet.com/meat-and-cancer/

    When you get right down to it, the only plausible 
    evidence to suggest that red meat might be risky to human 
    colon health is contained in two, that’s TWO, human 
    studies, both of which were very small and  poorly 
    designed, and therefore unable to give us useful 
    information about the effects of red meat on cancer risk. 
    These studies are inconclusive at best, and worthless at 
    worst.

The appeal to authority on this one is pathetically strong.
