The placebo effect is seen even when people are informed they are taking a placebo. http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/placebo-can-work-even-know-placebo-201607079926

Or the misconception that spending time with your children and exercise/physical activity are somehow mutually exclusive...

The Pinner test is pseudoscience with multiple issues. You could get the same results by burning $500 and then picking random foods to cut out of your diet. http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/prevention/is-food-intolerance-testing-for-real…

Whenever they show up, I always crave one. They never cease to disappoint in their mediocrity, but I still keep coming back :lol:

I haven't heard this much woo dropped in such a short amount of time in one place since HIMYM was on the air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8yUhUXl-oY

So you are suggesting those who are for the free market would support legislation which would require mandatory labeling of GMO's vice a voluntary labeling of non-GMO products by those companies who choose to have their products certified and labeled as such...

Exactly.

Sweet corn is still almost exclusively non-GMO, although some GMO varieties have started to make inroads. The bulk of corn (90%) is grown is for animal feed and ethanol. Those varieties are the ones which are heavily GMO.

The nut-free label is a little different because people with severe nut allergies could *kitten* die if they ate something they did not know had nuts. It's not a matter of preference or personal issues with it. In regards to the non-GMO label, this is something which manufactures ALREADY DO. Because they believe paying to…

Nachos are also acceptable.

I'm personally on team hamburger, but whatever it takes to reach your goals. "Postexercise Glycogen Recovery and Exercise Performance is Not Significantly Different Between Fast Food and Sport Supplements" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25811308/

And BMI as an indicator of obesity on the individual level actually tends to UNDER indicate the number of people who are obese. I.E., more folks are overweight by BF% but still within a normal BMI range than are at a healthy BF% and at too high of a BMI. It's not surprising most folks views are so skewed on what a healthy…

We had a similar experience at 2-3 of the dealerships this past year. Even though it was for my girlfriend and she was the one paying. I was in no way, shape, or form involved in owning or buying the car.

Yes, but B12≠cobalt, and supplementing the diet of animals with essential minerals is not the same as injecting animals with B12. B12 can be made my microbes in the soil, but ruminants get their B12 through the microbes in their digestive system. Humans also have B12 produced by the bacteria in their gut, but it's too late…

So your telling me an article from a place calling itself "Organic Authority" is misrepresenting data and recommendations? I'm shocked. Shock I say.

Untrue. B12 is only made by microorganisms. In ruminants, the B12 comes from the microflora in their guts and is dependent on cobalt in their diet. http://www.agriking.com/importance-of-cobalt-to-beef-dairy-cattle

Thanks all y'all for making sure this popped into my FB Newsfeed this morning. https://www.statnews.com/2017/06/21/pregnancy-weight-gain-women/

The ACA guidance is good, based in science, and for the most part common sense. They are aligned with the Harvard guidance in the above post. There are certain cancers which diet/exercise are risk factors, and some which are not.…

You can always trust cancer and diet advice from the blog of actress and photographer who pedals woo and wants to sell "documentaries" and books over that of your registered dietician, oncologist and the guidance of ACA based on hundreds of scientific studies.

My ancestors didn't spend millenia developing lactase persistence so I could waste it not having yummy milk with my Oreos, yogurt, and ice cream.

You seem to have a hard time understanding what an opinion is. You are entitled to your own opinions. You are not entitled to your own facts. If you proclaim humans aren't made to digest gluten and dairy or that gluten is inflammatory, you better be prepared to back that up.

Mammals (including humans!) are specifically born with the enzymes (lactase) to digest lactose. Which kind of makes sense since we drink milk from our mothers for nutrition as babies.... Humans are unique in that a good portion of the population have lactase persistence into adulthood and can continue to drink milk and…

I would also wonder if the palatability of the food would make any differences in mood and activity level of the animal, and if that was controlled for.

"particularly strongly science based writing" this is not...

Another daily weigher here. I like having the data and seeing the trends.

The friend who has a maintenance range of 500 calories actually is a smaller women with a calorie goal of around 1700-2000. She's on the high end of what I've seen. 200-300 has been pretty typical though. It can be a little hard to pinpoint because, at least in my experience, because of glycogen replenishment/water weight.…

And humans aren't the only the only animals that drink the milk of another species. Other animals will if the opportunity arises, and some make their opportunity. Sheathbills will steal the milk of the elephant seal. http://web.uvic.ca/~mamu/sheathbills.html

No other species uses a computer or smart phone. Yet here you are... And no other species specifically breeds plants and produces cultivators, yet here you are eating broccoli, a human invention. http://indianapublicmedia.org/amomentofscience/the-first-broccoli/

If that's the least helpful advice you've read on here so far you obviously haven't been reading much... How about eat your exercise calories but be realistic about them. I've eaten every single exercise calorie back while losing 68 lbs, and continue to do so while in maintenance, and I've lost and maintained in accordance…

At first glance, this seems to be the case. That maintenance requires this fine balance. But the reality is that due to unconscious changes in NEAT (non-exercise activity), most folks have a range of calories that they maintain on. This is especially apparent for folks trying to bulk. They find they have to to higher in…
