Frank Joseph McCoy (March 4, 1888 – March 31, 1940)[1] was an American chiropractor and alternative health author, known for his book The Fast Way to Health, as well as his nationally syndicated health- and nutrition-related newspaper columns and radio broadcasts.

His first newspaper column "Health and Diet Advice" ran in the Los Angeles Times from 1927 to 1932[7] and was syndicated in other cities.

[11] His opinions drew criticism in The American Journal of Public Health[6] and in a 1934 JAMA editorial[2] which stated: How long will newspapers and periodicals which share some responsibility for the public health continue to advise the uninformed in regard to infectious diseases in such ways as to encourage the spread and the virulence of these infections?

It is not known how many newspapers print these daily discourses of Frank McCoy, pet of the Los Angeles Times.

Surely editors fail their readers when they continue to promulgate such superlative nonsense as emanates from McCoy and his Los Angeles Times associates.
