Tech folks as a general rule are extremely ignorant about nutrition and health and tend to believe anything that seems science-y. Unfortunately.

- the_duke 10y agoI find that most information in the media concerning health, nutrition and exercise comes from "experts" with no clue about (and no formal training in) physiology. Most Biology or Medicine students would know most of the information to be false. The problems are that -) human physiology is incredibly complex, and while we are making a lot of progress in understanding all the biological systems, we are far from a point where we can properly model all that goes on. -) Most people with an actual idea are far too busy doing proper research. They don't care about educating the public that much. And those who do usually want to sell something, in one way or another.
