"Scientific" Studies That Make Me Angry

[RDKirk]

I'm not sure what my ability to evaluate satellite coverage (something I've never claimed to be able to do) has to do with your ability to evaluate nutritional science research.

Neither of us has access to the information in question, so making such a demand as though you're actually making a rhetorical point is absurd.

Sure, but specialized knowledge is required in order to apply them effectively and accurately within a field of study.

After a certain point...which they hadn't reached.

Why's that? You made claims. I asked you to support them. If you can't, that's fine, but you can't really expect anyone to take your argument seriously in that case.

Again, based on what?

Limiting ultra-processed foods does not necessarily make for a healthy diet

Surprised? Anyone?

Okay, I think we can all agree that it's certainly possible to create a bad diet with foods right off the hoof and out of the ground. There is plenty of existing information about natural diets of primitive people groups that lacked vital nutrients and resulted in poor health. We don't need a study to prove that such a thing is possible.

Who besides them would classify any of those foods as "ultra-processed?" An Oreo cookie is ultra-processed...a separated egg is not ultra-processed. Pureed apple is not ultra-processed. Drying fruit and simple canning is not ultra-processing. If those were the foods they included in their ultra-processed menu...no wonder there was little difference.

And although they claimed to have gone by the Nova food processing classification system, in fact they did not. According to the Nova food processing classification system:

So, nothing they mentioned would be considered "ultra-processed" by Nova. They simply lied. Or they're stupid.

Whether being stuck in the face with a thrown brick causes facial damage also remains unexplored...do we need a federally funded study for it, though? I'll bet a high school student can find Google information on that.

And we also already know that an apple costs more and has a shorter shelf life than a Twinkie.

We paid for this.

Bless their hearts.

So what I got from this post is that the one who doesn’t know what ultra-processing is would be, in fact, you.

Applesauce, seperated eggs, dried fruit, tomato sauce/canned tomatoes are all potential sources of ultra processing. Huge sources, actually. Articles like this exist because there’s a lot of people who don’t read labels and have zero clue what is being put into their food.

Signed, somebody whose job includes researching vendors products to identify ultra-processed foods.

Not according to Nova classification.

Yes according to Nova classification.
