I would write a long ranty thread about this total bullshit, but fortunately the excellent @NicolaKSDavis at the Guardian has done a great job already:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/may/22/the-truth-about-obesogens-can-dust-and-chemicals-make-you-fat …
Basically, the idea that obesogens - which ~may~ contribute to obesity - are carried in on your shoes in enough quantity to cause weight gain...is nonsense
Although if I WERE to do a ranty thread, I'd probably mention that this appears to be from an unpublished conference presentation rather than peer-reviewed researchpic.twitter.com/UyaGmqqCmi
I might also mention that the chances of a statement going from "maybe true" to "totally bullshit" when it's based on a poster at a conference are very high
Should I
Those two options aren't mutually exclusive. You could do both.
Nah if I write then at least I'm not stewing!
