Calories and blue light photons got cheaper, consumed more and everyone moving less too… combined = obesity, and then all the downstream effects of that…
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
Calories and blue light photons got cheaper, consumed more and everyone moving less too… combined = obesity, and then all the downstream effects of that…
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
consuming calories too often are at the wrong times of we know is bad for you consuming photons in the wrong form at the wrong time of day bad for you and I think those two things combined plus all the downstream negative Cascades can largely explain the Obesity and in some sense Mental Health crisis
one thing that's happened in the last 30 years which may at least partially explain the Obesity crisis is that calories which are depleted of nutrients micronutrients are very cheap now see they're very cheap to get calories but they aren't nut nutritious calories in addition there's been a change in lighting technology so that blue light photons are very cheap
