    Howdy! I'm a science teacher, so I guess I qualify as being a pro-science person :) It's all about calories in vs. calories out in my opinion!
    Lol, shouldn't have to be an opinion! It's can easily proven as essential for weight loss amongst the general population. ;)

    I'm pretty pro-science, but I'm absolutely 100% anti- selling me things. I love to run, I tolerate lifting, I hate protein powder, and I'm smart enough to know that you just feign interest in me to line your pockets with your MLM scheme. There. I said it.

    I've got a PhD in toxicology, but I'll be over in the chit chat acting a fool most of the time...

    I eat whole natural foods and work my butt off in the gym. Fitness, health, and longevity is a life long journey. It's a privilege and a blessing to eat good and exercise.
    But do you science or broscience?

    I'm an Atheist with a degree in Religious studies, who works IT for a living and fitness as a hobby/passion. I'm all about the science. None of this broscience. Show me some studies, thank you.

    my take on most things toxicological is to back away from the edge of crazy and be rational about it.


    (assuming you mean Bisphenol A there)
    I'm not going to go full bore avoiding all products containing it, but it is nice when you can avoid it. There are just immeasurable compounds that have hormone antagonistic and agonistic effects though (and some of the strongest and most relevant being natural from our diet).

    I'm of the opinion that most chemicals added to foods or pertaining to foods (as addetives/modifiers) have been studied well enough that there is at worst a "risk" that is acceptable within guidelines established.

    Yay science! Thank you for posting this. I too would love to have like-minded friends who are interested in science and research-based approaches to health and fitness. I think it's way too easy to get caught up in the lingo of the fads of the day - clean eating, non-GMO, macros, blah blah blah. I will send you a friend request. :)

    I just slammed my students with the "you're not the astrological sign you think you are" this afternoon ;)

    Several of them are ticked off; one girl even has a tattoo of Scorpio.... and realizes she's "actually" a Virgo.... teehee!!

    Awesome!

    Not really looking for friends at this point, but give me facts that can be falsified. Otherwise, there is no harm in admitting ignorance where understanding is not readily or easily available -- you may learn something more.

    you need to eat 1 g/per pound body weight protein everyday and space your meals out to smaller meals every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism high.

    So as a toxicologist you're pro current toxicology guidelines? How much is big toxicology paying you to agree with established science?! >:) (random smiley added to show what should be obvious sarcasm with someone on my MFP friendlist).

    @_John_ listed some examples, but it's essentially stuff that is stated as absolute fact, but is merely stuff that was stated 30 years ago without much evidence or reasoning, but has been repeated so frequently that everyone just assumes that it's true.
