Ignore them: Follow your doctor's advice for your health. There will always be people who will have critical opinions, no matter what you do. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
