== Criticisms ==<br />
According to [[PEERtrainer]], his critics "accuse him of making crazy promises in order to sell product. His claims, it is argued, are backed by very little scientific research, and any research he has done himself has never been published in medical journals, where it would be subject to scrupulous review."<ref name="peer">{{cite web|url=http://www.peertrainer.com/diet/dr_perricone_diet.htm |title=Perricone Anti-inflammation Diet |publisher=PEERtrainer |date= |access-date=2012-03-28}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=La Ferla |first1=Ruth |date=November 18, 2001 |title=The Skin Game, With New Wrinkles |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/18/style/the-skin-game-with-new-wrinkles.html |work=New York Times |language=en}}</ref><ref name="NY2011" /><br />
