IMO - A lot of health is finding the balance that works for you. X may be good for you. But how much of X?IMADreamer wrote:I know nothing about fitness science but I know that article uses the same type of conjecture and language that the same people that deny climate change use.

I don't necessarily agree with article that science has totally failed on exercise diet stuff. It is more that lay person interpretation and application of scientific data is wrong. Human nature, marketing forces, industry mangle what is known by science.
A good example alluded to in the article is water. Science will show that drinking plenty of water is good for ya. So, then it somehow became an exercise science rule - The more water the better.
Now this sports scientist guy says this water thing is getting overdone -and during endurance events he sees more problems from overhydration than dehydration. Drink to thirst. Like your dog does. It's common sense I don't think the scientific analysis of benefits of water has changed much. Just the application. It's science plus applying common sense. I see this with my elder relatives and vitamins. This letter for this, this letter for that. The more, the many the better. Who told them they were deficient in certain vitamins? -I don't think it is science or a doctor(at least not too often) - it was their own interpretation.
