[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire thread is full of pseudoscience. Please go back to goop.

What exactly on this thread is "pseudoscience"? You said it, so explain yourself. [/quote]

There's no evidence that GMOs cause obesity. None. 
Americans don't drink more alcohol than other countries. 
Our soil is depleted of nutrients? Evidence? Connection to Obesity?
Evidence that processed food causes obesity? Proof?
Pesticides cause inflammation and thus obesity? Proof?

I'll give you that eating lots of sugar probably has som impact. The rest of these reasons are garbage. [/quote]

None of this is even particularly new information.  Where do you get your news that all of this is shocking and reads false?  Because you got REALLY BIG MAD about how untrue this is. . . and you are wrong.

The first link posted is specifically about vitamins in food — D,B, C, etc. No clear link to obesity.

The second links to a study about tadpoles.  Again, no obesity link.

The third is a study of obesity IN EUROPE, which doesn’t support the notion that OP gets thinner when traveling to Europe.

I thing GMOs are dangerous if they allow farmers to dump more roundup on fields. I think soil depletion is bad.  I think gut bacteria is important and little understood.

But spewing vague stuff about GMOs and obesity with no clear link between the topic at hand and the cited sources is really fuzzy thinking and makes people who understand science and care about the environment seem foolish.

This reminds me of the people who buy organic strawberries at Whole Foods, thinking they are doing a good thing despite the small mountain of petrochemicals required to transport those strawberries from South American and the enormous plastic container they are packed in.

Be better.
