Consensus is useful for those who don't have the ability to go through the data themselves

Yeah that's what I meant

It's a shortcut

well you gotta see the data then draw your conclusions

Well most people don't. Unless you studied statistics, you can't go through all of the data

The real shortcut is just reading the conclusion section from the study

Especially since the academia has been subverted

well

>pls daddy tell me what this means uwu eli5 hurr

@Yev kassem methodology+conclusion

you'll lose weight fasting

and you have more lean weight than fat

so

it'll make your body composition better

@Ed I believe that. But why would nutritional science be?

statistics is mandatory for a bachelors degree here

To make the populous unhealthy and stupid?

where the fuck do you live

>Academia has been subverted
>I'll just accept the consensus of modern day scientists
Something is not adding up here

I haven't started uni yet

oh i see

I know basic statistics

yeah learn that

then when you go to the real world youll end up looking as a brainlet if you cant even understand a table or a graph

Meh it's not directly subverted

It's just that there is a general selection bias against Conservative voices in academia
