>What does 'bro science' mean? e.g. is the work referenced here bro science Word of mouth ideas about cause and effect, learned though informal testing in the gym rather than the lab. That's not to say there is widespread agreement about any/all of it. The contentious ideas are most likely to be called bro science. e.g. Google "brosplits." As a rule of thumb, anytime 'bro' is used as a slight on hackernews, it's being used wrong (differently than anyone outside the computer nerd cirlce of the valley bubble uses it). I trash on bro science now and them, but the carbs thing was more of a society-wide meme that hit it's peak with the Atkins diet.
