I can't go down the climate debate road or I will get spanked by the powers that be. But yes, science can be blinded by ideology and dogma. When a bandwagon gets rolling it has lots of momentum.Hard to stop and change directions.

When I changed diet and the pain in my knees went away, the pain left long before I lost very much weight. It was the reduction in inflammation that gave the pain relief, not the weight loss. Of course the weight loss could only help also.

I started out on this journey to lose weight and get healthy. But I had if backwards. I got healthy through a diet change then the weight naturally came off down to a healthy weight.

For my wife and I it is not so much a diet as a new lifestyle with different food.
