“Extensively researched and well produced, I think the podcast still ends up with some poor conclusions. The good lessons: (1) everyone’s different - the best diet is the one you can keep. (2) after centuries of research, we still don’t understand the science of weight management well enough to control obesity. The bad lesson: weight management isn’t important - if at first you don’t succeed, giving up is a reasonable strategy. Important lesson missed: correlation is not causation. After finding that nearly all the scientific results are correlations, the authors seemed to not look for the few that tested causation hypotheses. Surely there are some!”
