Go read the literature? What does that mean. It means anything you choose to select from it. And apparently other's people's experiences are only significant if presented by you "I've seen it happen in people that you&#x

True but people forget (or don't know) that calories from fat, protein and carbohydrate are not the same! The metabolic fate of these components explains why this is a fact and not, as stated on many links, a 'suggestion'.

Ethical defense? Where do you get that from? Commonsense tells us that the author could not possibly know the moral intentions of that 1% and uses <metaphor> to illustrate a fact known to all of us and relevant to our life in general

The evidence for molecular intervention (almost always with positive outcome) of antioxidants in the form of phytochemicals (the ones that have been around us for millions of years) in the biochemistry that occurs in animal bodies is overwh

Good to be clear that any contrary evidence presented in the future will evidently, be nonsense, because 'chemicals have been prove (sic) better and harmless through science'. Thanks for that assurance.

Heartening that everyone can read this research largely if not entirely funded by tax payers from the authors' respective countries.

No, he writes what he thinks; as a longtime reader of PG's blog I've not noticed any agenda. He's also been reading Piketty's Capital and tearing P's thesis to bits.

A rather grubby device for argument! What kind of evidence do you think is provided by a stasis in warming (no one is now denying this stasis!) when all the climate models predict warming? Models provide zero evidence; they only offer predi

"its use". "It's" means only "it is" or maybe "it has".

As I am sure you're aware, correlation is not causation. But you didn't say it. Plenty of studies suggest that it's how the cholesterol is carried in the blood that matters and this isn't just a matter of HDL and LDL; t

And perhaps your agenda-driven armchair suppositions should be moderated by some of the hard factual data now coming out from fMRI and other observations.

'Estonia’s approach makes life efficient: taxes take less than an hour to file, and refunds are paid within 48 hours.' Exactly as happens when I pay my UK taxes online!

And presumably ignore cheap tricks and fiddled data on the the other opposite side - a comment not improper given your dismissive tone.

Off topic really but check out Google Scholar for a fair number of papers showing that anthocyanins (colored fruit and vegetables) work positively in terms of eye function.

Just a lone test-engineer? Sorry to be a bit rude but it does appear you're too lazy to bother to look at the arguments. There are plenty of people with distinguished careers in science whose sceptical positions are very well argued. T

An ocean as imagined by Jules Verne in Journey to the Centre of the Earth. A splendid bit of early fantasy fiction. I recommend 'Lost' - the chapter where the narrator gets separated from his Uncle in caverns 70 miles underground.
