BtW it is at least partially fake news. Or engineered and coopted by powerful interests. I've personally reversed my own prediabetes, and helped my mom manage her own with a diet change. (yes it consisted of avoiding seed oils).

No a brainwashed populace that believes doctors are whom you are supposed to get nutrition advice from, or that believes an industry that profits off of sick people who has their hands in the funding funnels and mainstream media and astroturfing accounts here on hacker news like you is going to look out for their best interest, that populace not going to believe that.

That's ok. Let those of us not tribalizing and astroturfing take back our health and dignity and agency and autonomy in caring for ourselves.

Yes, let's all do our own research, abetted by brilliant men of science like Joe Rogan and RFK Jr.

Nice Ad Hominem and Straw Man. you can't actually advocate on any of my points so you resort to attacks and logical fallacies. Name one reason I should continue to engage with someone who is judgemental and hostile and isn't listening like you.

the medical system has been opt-in forever. I completely support your decision to make your own health care decisions. glad that's working out for you. that doesn't mean you get to decide that the rest of us can't invest in medical research or pay experts that know more than us about how our bodies work to treat us.

I'm ok with that. I just don't think you should stop me from my own decisions so you can then complain and force your research and opinions on me. And also don't straw man; theres plenty of experts who are not a doctor. And they are still better than the garbage science you seem to be following.
