It should read "top 10 fitness/diet industry charlatans", but it's a decent list, if not short.

    Mike Adams from NaturalNews and Mercola should be 1 and 2 on that list. They are probably the worst cesspools of misinformation on the Internet.

    At least it lists Dr. Oz, the Food Babe, and Gary Taubes.

    I read the article until Devan wrote: While I love carbs, and would love to inhale all the cheesecake that is 90% of my calories coming from carbs, this is not sustainable and it is dangerous. Carbs are literally the only macro your body does not need. So now he is spewing his own version of woo.

    Exactly. I'd like Devan to try 5000+ kilometers weekly on the bike without the carbs he claims no one needs. Cheesecake as an example for carbohydrates? And they claim this is a further revision?

    All things in moderation people. Be smart. There's no quick fix or "magic" elixir.
