Thanks again Alan, this is such a poignant comment on all of this stuff. I find that a lot of Broscience starts to repeat itself as it catches on around the fitness world. This is real problem because it then distills into a set of widely accepted beliefs – all based on this Bro-Dogma.

I dread to think how many times some naturally muscular Cro-Magnon (sorry, I meant mesomorph) who knows little about muscle building, has advised some poor ectomorph newbie by spouting his pet broscience theories.

@Lisa E.
Ya, with the banning of links to scientifically credentialized sites, it’s almost as if there’s an information war brewing… like the Creationists -vs- Darwinists.
Next they’ll be building a “Broscience Museum of Natural History”.

Perhaps Alan could set up some type of grey-list, listing all these broscience websites?

I recently had to leave an online group because one of the admin didn’t like me disagreeing with posts that were either inaccurate or misleading. I was polite and had references to back up my side of the discussion. The results were the admin causing a big argument on the thread, I sent her a private message stating that if she wants to talk to me then do so in private and keep the thread on topic. She was very rude and vulgar. I reported her to the owner and of course the owner sided with her. I learned that all the admin and mods were discussing me on a private thread. That means I did something right in my opinion. I left the group because is no point in staying where I am not wanted. The funny thing is it was a weight loss group yet the owners weren’t in the best of shape nor have had any formal training in fitness. Basically it was chocked full of Broscience and anything that went against it was attacked.

I’m apparently out of the brosci loop. I had no idea about this carb-fat separation thing. Not even sure I understand the logic there.

Can anyone point me to a similar taubes-science icon?

If it’s small enough & still readable, I might use it as an avatar on some forums.

Nick, it’s totally on The List, bro. I’ll see if I can get this done by early next month, it will kinda depend on the availability of my graphic design-savvy friend.
