Fibre: FIBRE F-I-B-R-E You're English. The name of our language is English. We don't need to fall into the trap of promoting American hegemony, now do we. We're right, and they are wrong. The clue is in the name of the language.

Just link to some science on this, will you? None of the lists I've seen of high-estrogen foods include butter. And of course, you'd need to show a link between orally consuming estrogen and it affecting our body in any way.

As always with Zoe videos, I'm extremely impressed by the quality and clarity of the advice, and really depressed by the level of responses in the comments section. Surely we can do better than "I had antibiotics.......my child is now autistic", and other such spurious nonsense. Endless self-diagnoses, and adding two and two and getting 7.........sheesh. There's good reason why Tim et al don't appear in the comments section, because they'd spend their entire lives wading through endless nonsense.

Love you videos. All of them. It's addictive, compulsive viewing..... .....but sheesh, it's "fewer calories", not "less calories".

Why are we even talking about this any more? The covid that has been in circulation for the last 12 months or so is unrecognisable compared with the version my wife and I caught in March 2020. You get a bad sore throat and a bit of a cold, feel a bit rough for a day or two, and that's pretty much it. If it wasn't called covid, no-one would talk about it, nor collect any figures on it.

Absolutely? Really? You've got good science to back up that assertion? And a good case to say that taking supplements of any description is better than having the healthy diet and lifestyle which Zoe have been advocating for years? Really? Could you point us to the studies supporting your view.

Stale bread? Bread pudding, or, bread and butter pudding. Or summer pudding. Or trencher.
3
And? A data point of one means precisely what, when compared with population-wide studies?
3
@flumpaustin1994 Yes, they did. 20 million plus. What's your problem with listening to the science?
3
@bevbond6152 Precisely. There is a danger in thinking that all of the plant is edible if some of it is. Always check first.

No. Casual observation NEVER supplants science. It's crazy to think otherwise. If you think of science as the collation of thousands or millions of non-casual observations you can soon understand why your one single observation should never be placed above advice from scientists.

By "misleading" you mean you don't agree with his assessment of the science, right?

@Sean-h4l You didn't watch the video, then.......

I'm quite happy to demur from the concesus and say that fasting once a week, occasionally twice, works for me. I don't time-restrict (or calorie -restrict) for the other 6 days. I properly fast, with 24 hours without any food, and then only have eggs on toast in the evening. I've done this for 10 years or more. It allows me to keep my weight entirely under control whilst eating cakes and biscuits when I fancy them, and I find the regime a very easy. I eat really healthily, and joke with my wife "are we expecting Tim Spectre for dinner?"......
2
Yes. Make soup with them.
2
You weren't listening carefully, then. The exact opposite is what the science shows.
2
@CDALL27 Oh I see. Only half-wits can enjoy parties, right?
2
Far easier to make soup than ferment.
2
Neither. Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?
2
@Nicksonian You missed my point entirely. I was commenting on the "my mum and dad....."-type observations. The notion that personal anecdotes somehow have some sort of equivalence with science.
1
@Nicksonian But in this case they were used to refute science. Or at least, as a "yeah but....." response to science. Oh, and I have big issues with the dumbing down of news with the continual use of "vox pops". I don't care what the half-wit up the road thinks of the subject. I want to know what an expert thinks, and what the statistics say.

@jsquire5pa What's that got to do with anything I said?
1
Someone else who didn't listen to the video.

@AutismScience1 I joined the dots, and came up with....... .......you're a liar.
1
...overlooking the elephant in the room, of course, and that is that the world can't go carnivorous. Producing meat on an industrial scale is unsustainable, and is destroying vast areas of the natural world.
1
"Perhaps" becoming less serious? There isn't the slightest question......it is FAR less serious than it was.

@sectionalsofa Keep on telling yourself that......
1
@sectionalsofa Critical thinking involves taking on board the latest science, not finding a way to disregard it.
1
(losing) If you could link to the episode it would give us all a stronger sense of the supposed contradiction. If you can't, we can assume you misunderstood something, or plucked this out of the air.
1
Why on earth are you sitting in the dark?
1
@johnmcconville6055 "I've read..". Righto. That's convincing.
1
If you had bothered to watch the video you would have heard them say many times that the small fraction of the population who present with your symptoms benefit from taking vit D supplements.
1
@clairejauffret And? Data sets of one are not useful.
1
@semi-mojo "Presciptivist much?" Sentences have a verb, a subject, and an object. You have used two recognisably English words, but in such a way as to be utterly meaningless. The irony of writing so sloppily in response to a well written critique of poor writing standards is not lost on those of us who are literate.
1
@semi-mojo "super displaced". You just can't help yourself, can you. And no, I can't derive meaning from what you type. "Prescriptivist much" is meaningless gobbledegook.
1
@Nobody-Nowhere Source, dammit. What's the point of copy pasting stuff without listing your source? Sheesh. You accuse me of getting my info from Youtube (I'm a scientist, for pity sake), and then you just paste unattributed text and a garbled conspiracy theory.
1
@Nobody-Nowhere So, pulled straight out of your backside, or plucked out of thin air. Unless you can attribute your text, it is meaningless. You can't even bring yourself to give an author's name or publication. Thanks for wasting everyone's time, including your own.
1
@Nobody-Nowhere It's hilarious watching you do anything other than provide sources for your claims, as well as "liking" you own posts. This under a video on a channel which deals with science. Now, toddle off back to kindergarten and leave the adults in the room to have a sensible conversation.
1
@Mr_Penguins_Pet_Human No it's not......other than immuno-compromised.
1
@johna5624 You knmow that a vaccine provides no increased protection for weeks, right?
1
"You think"........Yeah, that convinced me: sod the science, someone on the internet has a hunch.
1
Butter, of course.

You've never seen Zoe before, obviously. If there is ever a channel which is the exact opposite of your description, it is Zoe, who spend their entire time telling us to avoid processed foods and to prepare our own food from whole and raw ingredients. One suspects that Zoe would be quite pleased to see all of the food companies going out of business. You're right on almonds (if you're in America), but entirely wrong in everything else you say.
1
Acupuncture. Right, so you have no interest in evidence-based "treatments".
1
@sarahbutler4922 Acupunture doesn't work. All it does it trigger the placebo effect....it works because you believe it works. In other words, you're just kidding yourself.
1
What do you think your one-person-study has to say against the millions in the Zoe study?
1
You didn't listen to the whole thing, then, before you dashed off a quick post on your favourite little hobby-horse.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not the government's fault. It's not the doctors' fault. We're getting sicker because we're getting older, and because we're getting fatter.
