A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
The funny thing, the truly funny thing, Is that many people reading this will assume their assumptions about nutrition are fact based and everybody else's is pseudoscience. Examining the data on your own biases is critical for any standing in science.
what's a common assumption about nutrition that's not true?
Its less commonly assumed now, but "eating fatty foods makes you fat" is really not true. The "fat free" food craze of the 90s-mid 00s took the fat out of everything and added sugar to make it taste good again. And everyone got fatter. Exactly as the sugar industry planned.
