[QUOTE="Sarbak, post: 2309926, member: 530098"] So, having now watched quite a lot of YouTube videos and various documentaries on Netflix and other places, I think I've pretty much concluded the following: ● Most (probably all) nutritional studies are undertaken to prove or disprove a hypothesis (e.g. eggs are bad for you/good for you, saturated fats are bad for you/good for you, low carb is best, high carb is best, low fat is best, plant based is best, etc etc…). See links below for the eggs are bad for you vs eggs are good for you nonsense... apparently, eating eggs can give you cancer, T2D and cardiovascular disease OR can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke... depending on what you believe?
