Nutrition is not a belief, it is a science. There are far too many people who have developed their own diets and exercise routines based on their belief that the diet will work. There are many things that we can learn from science about proper lifestyles of diet and exercise. We need to focus on the science and hard evidence instead of just guessing or hoping that what we’re doing will actually work. There are too many people being misled by others who are giving false “facts” based on their own beliefs or feelings.
Key Takeaways:
- People oftentimes look to the internet for information regarding nutrition. However they should be looking to more reliable scientific resources.
- For any given nutrition topic, we should look at scientific studies as a whole rather than trying to find a study that fits what we are hoping to find.
- We should be more skeptical about “wish” type claims and be aware of the tactics that are often used to convince us.
