Abstract
The validity of Yukawa theories in nuclear physics is questioned beyond the mean-field approximation. It is shown that the large value of the meson-nucleon coupling constant puts an immediate upper bound on the relevant physical scale (about the nucleon mass) and this irrespective of the issue of renormalizability.Keywords
