Personally in health and weight loss unless it is my own body being studies what is said means zero to me and cannot
be 100% true for my body.

    sorry it that was off in think to much land, it is from a statement the CIA said but changes to suit how I feel about them. The exact
    statement they gave was:

    So you plan to stop using MFP?


    All the info this site is based on comes from studies. You are not all unique, special snowflakes. The human body is remarkably similar across the board. If it weren't medicine would be rather tricky.

    The physiological processes of weight loss are remarkably similar from person to person as are the list of necessities to achieve it.


    The list of personal preference items to adhere to those necessities is quite large.


    Best not to confuse the two.

    I dissagree, we are all unique, just like everyone else....

    no I don't use it for advise. I use it to keep note of my weight. I also like the forums which is not only for getting info and many people do give personal info on what worked for them not someone else studies on some other persons body . Would I ever give advise to someone based on a study..no. Studies can be interesting but that is a far as I go with them.

    You're correct, to an extent. But there is some objective truth, if you're willing to dig deep enough.

    So anecdotal evidence is good, but if you take a large body of anecdotes and put them together, it stops being valid?

    It all depends on the people doing the studies, the people funding the studies, and the people participating. No, you can't just read the concluding sentence and except the results to be applicable to everyone. But there are valuable studies out there.

    You've just got to be careful.

    I read something the other day comparing whole milk to skim milk as a weight lifting recovering drink. Does these mean whole is a good recovery drink for people who are lactose intolerant? No. Does it mean whole milk is better than commercial recovery products? No, they weren't compared. Does this mean it's a good recovery drink for endurance activities? Can't say. The results of studies have to applied carefully.

    Or the study that says running barefoot is better than running with tennis shoes. It was founded by the people who make those "barefoot" running shoes so I'm a little suspect.

    Yes I prefer to listed to uncle bobs friends wife's postman who's sister cut out beans and lost 10 kilos in a week.

    Feel free to read a study and make your own conclusions as to what to do with the info but to simply write them off as useless as it was not yourself who was studied is a little short sighted.

    Some people will smoke 20 a day and live till they are 100, does this outweigh the body of evidence showing thy smoking is bad for you?

    All studies are the same to me. I did not say they are not useful, I do think a lot of people take them to literally and
    use them as factual basis.

    What they didn't tell you was...the postman had gotten some "magical beans" from some guy named Jack and they made him really hungry so he was binging. He stopped smoking those and the munchies stopped.

    They do. They're called scientists. They made the internet you're using to discredit them.

    I didn't say they were useless but I will say taking them literal or repeating them as fact to others is wrong.

    It's not even that. It's a statement about intelligence reports generated by CIA field operatives. Those are reports about criminals and terrorists... not nutritional science!!
