IT IS ABSURD TO THINK ARAGON AND THE LIKE ARE EVEN IN THE SAME GALAXY AS THESE SCIENTISTS.


HE IS A LAYMAN- A SALSMEN.The fact that YOU are TAKEN IN by these Internet CHARLATAN HUCKSTER GURUS says all I need to know about your current understanding of science.


MY SOURCES ARE ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF SCIENCE- DR.FRIEDMAN, DR. LEIBEL, DR. ROSENBAUM AND HAVE CONDUCTED SOME OF THE GERATEST QUALITY AND PROFOUND OBESITY RESEARCH IN HISTORY
I wasn't asking you to publicly felate these guys. I was asking you to explain why one of these guys you hold in such high regard got his ass beat by Alan.

Dr. Friedman and Dr. Leibel's credentials are FAR SUPERIOR to Aragon the salesmen.



FRIEDMAN AND LEIBEL ARE SCIENTISTS NOT SALESMEN. THEIR SALARY DEPENDS ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THEIR LABS.



YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO EVEN ASK THIS QUESTION.

i do not hold dr. Lustg in gerat regard.



It is dr. Leibel, leibel, leibel a diferent man.

But , no, lustig did not get beat by aragon. Only in your mind. Colpo, aragon etc are all internet gurus.

In fact gary taubes was never debunked by these guys. THEY DID A poor JOB . GARY WON.

taubes studied physics at harvard. Taubes is a lot smarter than your heroes - like aragion

gary taubes udnerstands science far better as well.

You need to find better sources of scientific information than "Alan Aragon" and people in those circles. They are Internet guru SALESMEN. They are layman.



You need to go to the researchers THEMSELVES. Read THEIR PRIMARY material FIRSTHAND.

I am in contact with them personally by email.



DR. FRIEDMAN,DR. COLEMAN DR. LEIBEL, DR.ROSENBAUM ALL REPRESENT GENUINE SCIENCE. They ACKNOWLEDGE MASSIVE UNCERTAINTY AND VAST UNKNOWNS.


Aragon et al do NOT.

What do you think Alan's salary depends on?

You did, obviously, as you brought him into this debate.

Did you read the exchange? Even Lustig knew he got beat.

It just keeps getting better and better.

Taubes has degrees in physics, engineering and journalism, none of which are applicable to health and science. For a guy who is so hung up on credentials, it's odd that you cite him.

Of course, as expected, Taubes was wrong about damn near everything.

A PhD in nutrition is a "layman"? Then so is Linda Bacon, right? Simple logic.

And you base this on what? Besides that they agree with you, of course.

It's easy to make excuses for lifestyle choices. It's hard to change habits.

But bad habits CAN be changed, and the vast majority of people CAN lose weight in a healthy manner and keep it off - if they are willing to change bad lifestyle choices and habits.

No one ever said life was fair or that making good decisions is easy.

obesity has little to do with choice or willpower.

Stop confusing this issue.



Plenty of obese people live fabulously but remain obese. Some of the hardest working, and also most dedicated to exercise i know are overweight at least and some are obese.

Diet and exercise do not do much,.

Weight is involuntarily regulated. The science behind involuntary regulation 9 just like other systems in your body - blood pressure etc.0 is overwhelming.


Read the literature. Drop your beliefs.




The involuntary regulation of body weight is well known to all serious obesity scientists.

dr. Friedman trumps alan aragon and his cohorts easily. There is no contest.

Aragon and krieger do not represent science. They represents book sales.

You should know this already.

All advertising is lies- no exceptions.


Genuine science is uncertain and admits to unknowns. Obesity is far from figured out.

Read the article again. Dr. Lustig is only one person in that article and not the focus at all.

Weight is not calories in and calories out. This is specifically mentioned by harvard scientists you idiot.

Go back many threads and re - read it.
