Reinforces two of my top rules on food: ignore results and advice
- less than five years old, or
- from Americans
While I might reject some false positives, these rules are easy to implement and improve the signal to noise ratio tremendously.
- maw 7y agoAnd the Australians who did the study? Are they just like Americans but even monolingualier? I think you actually have the kernel of a good heuristic there, but I'd, uh, refine it a bit.
- ghostbrainalpha 7y agoThat's funny advice about America. We are undeniably the most obese country. But I'm hoping that the unique pressure we have placed on ourselves eventually leads us to develop diet solutions that help the whole world. But as test subjects in an extreme obesity study, the rest of the world is probably wise to avoid American "solutions" to problems they might not even have yet. For example Butter Coffee is a huge improvement for some people here, because it is better than eating a bowl of sugar cereal or having donuts and a Frappacino. But is the Butter Coffee better than a typical Italian breakfast of "Espresso and maybe a small yogurt"?
