Do you see how "perhaps" is different from "just asking questions?"
It is not anecdotal that vitamin D and cholesterol levels in the body are related by the Kandutsch-Russell pathway: https://www.jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(20)41142-1/fulltext
The anecdotal evidence that Dr Mason is referring to is the observed phenomenon that people on the carnivore diet do not sunburn as easily as the people who are not.
Please don't misrepresent the content in this community.
No. Its the same rhetorical move its just different from the more aggressive "just asking questions"
I'm trying not to, but this is a short clip without any context or further readings.
I want you guys to have better educational materials.
This guy says a lot of things with coincidental or anecdotal evidence at best and that's not good evidence when also trying to position oneself as an academic expert e.g. "Dr." In the name. Dr. Mason should know better if the Dr. Is worth anything.
Take the criticism or don't, but this is a relatively small push back to the carnivore idea.
If there's more, better science on these claims, then they should be included, referenced within the talk. Something! Maybe this is just an out of context clip, but that doesn't make the argument better. It's fundamentally a bad line of reasoning that only means something to people deep in the weeds of carnivore food science. How was I, an outsider, supposed to know about the paper you're citing? How can I know he knows about it?
The other mods have pointed out I haven't been seeing your replies due to a weird federation block issue that I've resolved. Looking at your comment history in this community I need to remind you have our Rule 4 - I would reply to the earlier comments, but they didn't federate to me.
You can disagree, you can dislike, you can provide counter arguments but ad hominem attacks against people (including the people making the articles and content) isn't what we do in this community.
I've made no ad hominem attacks so far as I can tell.
I'm criticizing rhetorical style and listing my reasons why.
The closest I can see to ad hominem was putting "Dr." In quotes, but that was just for emphasis on the title since I didn't know if asterix would work e.g. Dr.
Also, my apologies for any confusion as I do have 2 accounts. I promise I'm not tying to ban evade or anything. I just forgot I switched at some point.
