The whole thing strikes me as quite sensationalist, and I suspect that digging into the research would affirm the cholesterol <-> heart disease link. For now, I'll trust the scientific consensus over these crackpot types.
- ynniv 13y agoWeek old accounts with no prior comments shouldn't be allowed to use hot button words like "crackpot". They should probably include IP addresses in their comments as well.
- gnusouth 13y agoI had to start somewhere, didn't I? Yours truly, a new HN user. IP address: 115.64.60.28
- ynniv 13y agoPerhaps cut your teeth on a nice technical discussion before calling an article in your local metro newspaper "crackpot".
- 72deluxe 13y agoGreetings to Balgowlah, Australia! What's the weather like? Here in the UK, it is raining incessantly, and Worcester up the road is flooding due the Severn bursting its banks.
- gnusouth 13y agoVery dry here, some rain would be nice if you could arrange that ;)
- 72deluxe 13y agoGot a siphon? You are underneath the Earth and we're on top of it so I suppose it'll naturally drain through the pipe anyway! Sunny as well I expect? I am looking at the grey clouds and horrendous weather out of the window here. Wish I could visit!
- DenisM 13y agoAt least some of the anti-sugar types are certified crackpots: http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/lundell.html http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/lundell.html I hope my account is old enough for your liking. :)
- yetanotherphd 13y agoGreat ideas, I look forward to them in your fork of HN.
- neohaven 13y agoI... What? Are you really attempting to imply that having low account age on Hacker News is a sign of incompetence/inappropriateness of opinion? Am I really reading this on a website based around people of all ages doing startups? I mean I'm just not getting the tone of your comment. It sounds elitist, demeaning, belittling and callous. In addition, your "cutting your teeth" approach is absolute bull. You don't want something on the page, downvote, move on. It'll curate itself.
