On the other hand, the website Quackwatch described the findings of book author Weston Price as "quackery". Then the Weston A. Price Foundation published an 8-point rebuttal. However the quackery allegation is still not removed from the Quackwatch, and it can be found here.
Can some knowledgeable people here please comment on this controversy?

An exceptional post!
Sacred foods have stories to tell
but only to those who have the ears to hear them.
The unsubstantiated allegations of quackery at "Quackwatch" have been very well refuted by the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF). There does not appear to be any counter- statements against what has been refuted. IMO. the WAPF 8-point rebuttal stands as the truth! Quackwatch is silent even though it may still cling to that duly refuted web page.

P.S. I see nothing of any possible relevance in the definition of Quackery:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quackery
that can possibly be applied to Dr. Weston A. Price. Although I appreciate the eight-point rebuttal by The Weston A. Price Foundation I would have dismissed the accusation as completely absurd and told Mr. Quackwatcher to go fish!
Be Very Well!
Happy New Year!
