| Talk to your doctor friends. Edit: sorry, that was a rude way for me to respond. But this is pretty googleable, and I’m going off of war stories two doctor friends of mine have shared. Eg https://nypost.com/2025/10/24/health/real-life-ways-bad-advi... To explain, I reacted strongly because there’s a style of HN comment that is basically “source?” But it’s a trap, because they are trying to discredit and dismiss your point, not understand it. You can provide the best sources for something that is simply fact, but it won’t change their mind - they will just find pedantic way to further discredit or dodge anything you put in front of them. I once got into this pattern explaining to someone that, yes, stress actually does cause physical ailments and provided like 5 NIH papers out of the thousands that support that fact, but the commenter just tried to further discredit each study for meaningless and pedantic reasons. So I didn’t want to go down that road again. If you were seeking to understand, I’m sorry for jumping down your throat. If you were seeking to discredit and be the contrarian… stop. |
