Yeah, lots of broscience there. There are other communities where people actually are looking at the scientific literature and testing hypotheses on themselves. I think the fitness stack exchange is closer to that.
That was my methodology for fixing my condition that I was told was incurable. I looked at pubmed for any study at all on the condition, even animal studies. And if there was anything promising that was not dangerous to do, I tried it.
- jacques_chester 14y agoHave you actually looked at fittit? A lot of the most vocal and active contributors and moderators are credentialled to hell and back. Silverhydra, for example, is considered a minor deity thereabouts. He's a registered dietitian, an amateur bodybuilder and is the co-founder of examine.com, for which he reads literally dozens of studies per month.

So he reads a dozen papers per month? That's not good... that's just terrible. Is there anyone that reads a more healthy amount?
- jacques_chester 14y agoAnd you read more? Less? Your qualifications to opine are?
- kanzure 14y agoWell, yes, I do like to read more than that. But I am not selling myself off as an expert on nutrition or whatever? I'd rather find someone who reads more, so that I can avoid the garbage.
- jacques_chester 14y agoMate. He's not "selling himself" as an expert in nutrition. He is an expert in nutrition.
