> I have no credibility and I don't pretend to have. And yet you're giving nutritional advice on Hacker News to complete strangers. Maybe remember your lack of credibility next time you claim a topic is a solved problem.

I'm not giving a nutritional advice. I'm repeating the advice from the official resource and encourage to check it yourself and/or ask your nutritionist. I'm just tired of lazy people who don't want to read the official advises and prefer to say that everything is unclear in the nutrition science.

  Wrong. You are giving nutritional advice by claiming this is "the official resource" (it's not), and by synthesizing the information into new, different information that is both less correct and even more vague. You may be tired of people not being informed, but I'm tired of ignorant people thinking they know more about a topic than they actually do.

Harvard Public School of Health is a professional nutritional organization, isn't it? > both less correct and even more vague. This is a shallow dismissal, which is against the HN rules. I'm always happy to be corrected and understand nutrition better.

      Professional doesn't mean official, and it's not a shallow dismissal, it's just a dismissal due to your self professed lack of credentials on the topic.

        > Professional doesn't mean official Why does this distinction matter here? > it's not a shallow dismissal, it's just a dismissal due to your self professed lack of credentials on the topic I didn't provide my own advice (in that case, you would be right). I repeated a professional advice, possibly incorrectly, and you did not provide any explanation why you think it's wrong, just dismissed it. This is by definition a shallow dismissal.
