Has any scientific study ever made you change the way you live?

    No. I live by a simple rule - everything in moderation, including moderation.

    It's the most prestigious journal in the world. Everyone who works in science considers it a good journal.

    Test how something works in lab conditions that are completely different to natural conditions


    For one thing, I don't agree they're completely different. Think about in vivo studies for infection, how much more "natural can you get"?
    And even if I agree with you, what's your solution? Stop paying attention to any finding from a lab? And pay attention to what instead?

    I’m repeating what I was told while receiving training at one of the largest medical device corporations in the world (fortune 500). The preferred approach is to recreate a realistic environment in the lab I think. Not my area; I was getting domain knowledge for software development projects. The researchers were very strongly of the opinion that the bar was too low for publication in Nature though.

    Absolutely not, because these scientific studies lack any credibility due to the sheer volume and inconsistency of them. If you stuck to every study that came out then you couldn't eat anything, drink anything, drive, go outdoors, own a pet, own carpet, never drink alcohol etc etc. One week cheese is great the next its a demon which will give you a heart attack.

    Remember when all fats were bad? Then all carbs were bad, then protein was the best thing ever. I think the current fad is macro nutrients that we 100% have to buy or risk a premature death. Its all swings and roundabouts and depends on the current "craze" of the day. Cheers, people, I want to enjoy my life before I die! :p

    For years we were told white bread was bad; wholemeal was what to eat. Recently they are saying that wholemeal causes/exacerbates arthritis so white bread is in.

    Science is only as " good" as the last bit of "research" And pet food is a nightmare. Large pinch of commonsense needed

    Academic output has become woeful. More and more students and researchers trying to grab less and less funding.

    This week: eating 10 pineapples a day COULD make you taller.

    Next week: eating 10 pineapples a week COULD make you shorter.

    Most of them are brain-farts that will have no follow-through, never be heard of again.

    Common sense is what you're left with, so I rely on fundamental information and observation to draw my own conclusions.

    Eat 5 so.

    After seeing what the farmed salmon industry is doing to the environment , I don't eat it anymore. I also have stopped eating seafood except maybe once or twice a year
