    So your offended that he described a medical condition using the description given by the doctor who named the condition?


    Isnt that the same as me being mad for you using the same description for a word as the dictionary uses to describe it?

    There's no need to get upset.

    What exactly is the point you are trying to make? That a discretionary calorie allowance is probably a good idea once nutritional bases have been met? I doubt anyone really disagrees with that.

    I am not going by "what I was told". Documentation works for me. You show me where 'SCIENCE' proved the earth was round, because I can certainly show you where Columbus was the first to prove the theory.
    Ancient Greek mathematicians had already proven that the Earth was round, not flat. Pythagoras in the sixth century B.C.E. was one of the originators of the idea. Aristotle in the fourth century B.C.E. provided the physical evidence, such as the shadow of the Earth on the moon and the curvature of the Earth known by all sailors approaching land. And by the third century B.C.E., Eratosthenes determined the Earth's shape and circumference using basic geometry. In the second century C.E., Claudius Ptolemy wrote the "Almagest," the mathematical and astronomical treatise on planetary shapes and motions, describing the spherical Earth. This text was well known throughout educated Europe in Columbus' time.

    The source is the recommendations from the 2005 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee as far as I know.

    I will see if I can find an appropriate link to the guidelines.

    Heres your quote.. Alan Aragon said ”It reminds me of the counterproductive dietary perfectionism I’ve seen among many athletes, trainers and coaches. One of the fundamental pitfalls of dichotomizing foods as good or bad, or clean or dirty, is that it can form a destructive relationship with food,”


    You can use that because he actually said it, unlike what you qyuoted him as saying.... which he never said in either of the links provided..


    what does this prove? Not much.. Besides your lack of credibility and thae fact that you twist articles to fit your platform and views.. Which makes you biased...


    Im done here.... youre just trolling since page one...

    Oh, I see.

    That is clearly wrong. Having said that the way some people throw around the term "orthorexia" on here is ludicrous - especially as it has no confirmed diagnostic application.

    no confirmed diagnostic application?? please explain

    I honestly wonder if you even understand what orthorexia is. If you dont believe it exists, I don't know how.

    I would stay away from Gary Null. I went to one of his lectures and he was so off base on something he said about gluten that I almost got up and walked out. He has misinformation and isn't grounded in the science. (I have a doctorate in Food Science and have read a lot of the hard data out there and know when misinformation is being spread).

    adding a link that might shed light on Mr Null:

    The irony here is actually hilarious.

    Orthorexia has no confirmed diagnostic basis - it is essentially a hypothesis. The OP has recommended that perhaps alternative viewpoints which do not yet have a confirmed scientific verification should be considered. People who claim to be scientifically minded then do what exactly the OP suggest by insinuating people who seem particularly concerned with "clean" eating are othorexic.

    Hahahaha. I love these forums.

    Everyone has cognitive bias. Everyone

    Explain it to me scientifically then with reference to a medical journal or publication which sanctions a diagnosis of orthorexia.

    Clearly I have no idea what it may be.

    the semantics here are ridiculous.

    if you ASKED Aragon straight up "what does orthorexia mean?" he would use that quote or a variation on it. that's what he believes it to mean.
    There's a term for taking the obsession with righteous/perfectionistic/"clean" eating to extremes, and it's called orthorexia.

    should I have used that quote instead? it means the same exact thing... yaaaaay semantics!

    thats not orthorexia at all and just cuz morons think it is doesnt mean that you can angue from that standpoint....

    people who refuse to eat any fat are orthorexic... you need fat to function properly... making fat a taboo creates a deficiency that is very bad for your long term health...

    that is orthorexia....

    there are plenty of deficiencies that can AND HAVE developed in many individuals...

    You could eat "clean" food (hate that ****ing word) every day all day and not be orthorexic.... many people do...


    here enlies the problem with those individuals.... the second you say you eat "clean" you insinuate taht there is a dirty counterpart... if you just said you always eat healthily you wouldnt have the word "orthorexic" flying around so much.... its not such a negative connotation to use the word unhealthy in contrast with the word dirty....


    if you're a normal health person, who is scared of bacon, there is something wrong with you... same with just about any food so long as you dont have some medical condition..... this is mild orthorexia.. it may not be enough to be damaging, but its not sound reasoning

    it's amazing to me that you can so clearly define a mental condition that has never even been defined by modern psychology...

    you - sir - deserve a nobel prize methinks.
