    Shits on pseudoscientific dietary advice

    Provides shitty dietary advice

    What on Earth are you even blabbering about? The headline says the measure helped kids drink less soda. It fucking worked.

      That measures an effect, not an outcome. Is the goal to improve health, or to sell less sugary drinks? All of the evidence we have around using low-calorie sweeteners is that it does not displace the consumption of other dietary sugars, because there is a compensatory effect.

      I invite you to point out what part of my advice you consider to be “shitty”, and back up your case with evidence - because I actually know what I’m talking about.
