I'm showing myself up as a hopeless optimist here, but I believe that at least some of WF's members are capable of intelligent, reasoned discussion. I'm sure I'll be bitterly disappointed and disillusioned by the outcome of this, but what the heck.
I'm genuinely interested in the subject of nutrition, and I have my own opinions. But I'd like to hear others as I've already learned some interesting stuff here.
Some ground rules :
1. Any assertion has to be backed up by proper, peer-reviewed evidence.
Home - PubMed - NCBI is the place to go for this.
Not some documentary, and not some book/blog post by a guy with either a product or an ideology to sell you.
And before you say "but scientists are all in the pocket of the evil corporations/pharma/obama", I'm married to one, and no, they are not.
2. No image macros/flaming etc (told you I was a hopeless optimist)
3. If you want to attack someone else's point of view, do it with your own studies, or by pointing out flaws in the evidence/interpretation. No ad hominem attacks or straw men.
So..... what constitutes a healthy diet?
