The excess of resources provided to us on a topic can pressure us to do something perfectly when we can just stick to the basics. For example, diet. Do I need the perfect diet?? Well, there are 5 billion diets I can try on the Internet, so why not try one?? That's such flawed thinking though. People want to maximize everything nowadays, from exercise to diet to school. However, I think this is harmful to our mental and physical health.
[B]BASICALLY[/B], I'd only worry about diet if you're eating too much junk food. Eat somewhat healthy (like, eat [I]some[/I] fruits and veggies while [I]somewhat[/I] balancing ur carbs and prOwOteins) and you're good.

I'm only being serious cuz this isn't CircleJerk.UwU

[QUOTE=Marshmallow Marshall;863629]Is diet important? Very, very probably. Should you believe all things you hear from "scientific" sources? I don't think so. A lot of diets contradict eachother, some are frauds... The food industry has too much power in the scientific fields for them to be completely trustable for your health, and that doesn't count the honest scientific errors. The issue here is not "faith in science", but "faith in human sciencists". If you need to be convinced, just look at your country's recommendations for healthy eating habits, and then look at other countries'. You'll notice a lot of differences between them. Of course, there is probably not only one way to eat healthily, but remember that cigarettes were seen as completely harmless not so long ago, and both governments and sciencists had no qualms about it (until they did, but that happened really late in the developement of the cigarette industry).
There are some relatively obvious things that are easily provable, like "eating too much salt can cause trouble to your kidneys", or "eating too much sugar can cause a lot of bad things", so I think that's what people should look at.

[QUOTE=secondpassing;863565]The Glycemic Index (the speed of digestion, absorption, and uptake of sugars) and knowing a food's Glycemic Load (how much a food impacts blood sugar) and then controlling it is of strong benefit to the one that wants to maximize productivity.[/QUOTE]
LOL r u trolling??
What an odd answer. Whynot just say: "diet good."
