Given that the evidence thus far shows no diet prescription holds up around the world, this is a false dilemma.
There's no reason to believe a single diet should hold up around the world.
- darawk 9y agoThat's a pretty silly perspective. If the idea is that high-carb diets are universally bad, a counter-example falsifies that notion. It may be that high-carb low-exercise lifestyles are bad. But you need to refine your theory to account for the fact that there exist large groups of people with high carb diets who do just fine. You don't just get to dismiss it.
- LMYahooTFY 9y agoWhat theory? I'm saying that there isn't a universally applicable diet known to human beings as of yet.
- darawk 9y agoI'm not even sure what that statement means. Are you saying that there is no standard effect of a consistent diet on health? That humans eat different stuff? You seemed to be trying to suggest that contrary examples of people eating lots of carbs but not having negative health consequences was somehow irrelevant to this debate.
