​Let's see. Harvard nutrition center was chosen as #1 in a review of nearly 20,000 nutrition departments in universities around the world. Dr. Ludwig is the head of the Harvard Nutrition center

.​Avraam, have you studied scientific methodology?

Do you know the first thing you do is a literature review? It can be many dozens of pages, citing at least 50 experts. now, according to your standards, when I do a literature review, if I just cite these authoritative sources, that is cheap and manipulative.

So instead of dozens of pages, I would end up writing a 1000+ page literature review, presenting my arguments for or against each point raised by experts who have themselves spent decades - EACH ONE - investigating their particular area of study.

Well, unless Dr. Dectis has specific credentials involving reviews of thousands of studies and heading up the #1 department of nutrition in the world, I think if I ever conduct a study of the psychology underlying the religion of lo-carb, I'll probably stick to citing experts in my literature review.​​
