We look down on anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists, however I've seen many software developers believe in the ketogenic diet, or even in the (gasp) carnivore diet. Guys, sorry, but Keto is the anti-vaxxing movement of nutrition. The carbohydrate-insulin model is complete BS.

The equivalence is perfect, as all the research we have suggests that CIM is bullshit, with its supporters ignoring evidence or moving goal posts. Same underlying mistrust in authorities, w/ "big pharma" conspiracies, coupled with narratives built on confusing and weak evidence.
I'm not seeing it. I just did a search for "keto diet discredited" and the top result is from Harvard Health. It describes some science then speaks positively about the keto diet for weightloss. Come on, you can't tell me this is "perfectly" equivalent to the antivax movement...

Did you just use a Google search to disprove a point?
Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you.
It is newer & not considered a public threat yet, while actual scientists have better things to do.
For some of the research involved, a good list is:

This kind of proof by authority, to authorities who have created a health crisis through diet recommendations, isn’t scientific. By contrast with health advice, empirically, vaccines have basically eliminated the measles. Not all authorities are created equally.

I’d recommend starting here to get an idea about just how tricky nutrition is (It’s a Layman overview, but pretty good IMO):https://www.vox.com/2016/1/14/10760622/nutrition-science-complicated …

I've been doing this for some time
@fsvehla, I did Keto for a whole year, I read multiple books. I know all of the arguments. Saying that "nutrition is hard" doesn't mean that we have to accept bullshit, or ignore basic human physiology, or physics.
