Google and various websites says 28g of pecans is between 185 and 195 calories, how in the world are praline pecans much less calories?

    Why is everyone anti-science when it comes to nutrition? Sorry, but you’re just wrong, which I suppose isn’t too surprising when your reference is a three-decades old book written by a goofball non-scientist who knows about as much biochemistry as you do. None whatsoever.

    Saturated fat is processed by the liver from Chylomicrons to VLDLs to LDLs in an incredibly taxing process directly responsible for fatty liver disease. No faster way to get diabetes than eating lots of saturated fat and sugar. Both are absolutely horrible and very poorly tolerated by humans, who are apes that evolved eating mostly plants. These are empirical facts. Stop treating food like a religion and just eat a fucking vegetable.

      They didn’t specify saturated fats, but I didn’t look up the book, so it may have.

        Forum discussions about food are like a biochemist’s personal hell. No offense, but you’re all dumb as shit.
