spent two hours reading good bad calories. I think it suffers from too much history. studies in the 50.s who cares. more for anthropologyl
not at all, reading about world war one or two, or vietnam , gives me no insight into isil.. boko harem .etc. I listen to you becuse the science says x using tools of today any work using tools of yesterday, seems a little odd. germs before a microscope. etc. no data in the 50s worth noting.
This isn't a diet book, in which case that info would be irrelevant.
It's a book making the most provocative case ever in nutrition: our fundamental understanding obesity and disease might be wrong entirely.
To make that case, GT needs to explain the history of how we got there.
Can I understand WWII without understanding WWI? Maybe, but not nearly as well.
Can a president make a rationale decision about invading Iraq without understanding the history of the tribes that make it up? Apparently not.
Read this through the lens of "How can I take Peter seriously when he says X or Y about nutrition. \ \ hell it so clearly flies in the face of my friends at NIH, CDC, FDA, AHA, ADA, ...?"
Agree that the data of the 50s mean little. I'm talking about a different problem, which is more sociaUbehavioral than scientific.
Understanding the nuances of WWI, II probably add little to understanding ISIL, but that's the "wrong" history. If ISIL is the focus, at least IMO, understanding FDR's relationship with Abdulaziz Ibn Saud does help, even though it took place 80 years ago.
Our work in cancer and AD will be different, but in obesity there is likely no addressing the problem without some appreciation for how this mess was created.
fair. .. as you think like a scientist. , I, trying to move you away from curing a disease ( obeisity, fatty liver ) . and move more into longevity, . unless you think it is merely the absence of as many disesases as you can catalogue. Im unclear if ancestors , and genes , have longevity in mind.for the individival I dont think so.. nature prefers replication and survival of offspring. Im not sure why women live past reproductive age at all. separatpe from transmission of culture, ( not in the genes). diseases are also the most natural of things, I want not to look to them as to my genes, I want to fight against both.
