Evidence (noun): ‘the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.’

And here we are. Delving into the unregulated plethora of doom that is the nutrition/diet industry. Brushing shoulders with charlatans, cherry pickers and outright liars. But if we are to consult meta analysis (studies done on many studies) we can swiftly assert the following:
–
–

The belief that a fat storage ‘starvation mode’ exists can instantly be disproven if we consult the Minnesota starvation experiment of 1944. Subjects were confined to aggressively low caloric conditions and significantly reduced body fat.
–
–

Despite obsessions with insulin and the glycemic index, there is no evidence stating that carbohydrates store fat any more than protein or fat. –
–

Fat can only be reduced on the Ketogenic diet if in a state of caloric deficit. The claim that more fat can be burned on Keto may be valid, but this only because high amounts of fat are consumed. –
–

Some foods have more micronutrients than others. But the overall diet and lifestyle determines overall health, not an alleged ‘superfood’.
–
–

Eating fast food is a single event out of a multitude of eating episodes and lifestyle decisions. Calorie dense food can fit into a controlled overall diet. –
–

Any form of sugar contains the same calories. Fruit proposes additional benefits in the form of micronutrients and fibre, but these are nutritionally unrelated to sugar. –
–

If one has functioning organs, they rid us of toxins already. The detoxifying effect of any detox cleanse is benign. –
–

It is impossible for sweeteners to affect insulin or give you type 2 diabetes because the doses consumed contain no calories and no sugar. –
–

In 2019, after decades of research, there is literally no meta analysis that proves aspartame causes cancer. –
–

These concepts still exist because we want to believe them. Our challenge is to forego impulse and ignore such mythical concepts. We need to think objectively. ?
