1139: Fad Diets | Skeptical Sunday

So the issue isn't eating carbs. I think most Americans and even the more enlightened Americans who listen to your show could probably stand to cut their carb intake or at least eat their carbs more purposefully and mindfully rather than housing an entire bag of Doritos in a single sitting.

Doritos aren't vegan, but you're not far off.

It's such a difficult thing to talk about, but we could do a whole episode on veganism. In a sense, it's about ethical consumption and taking care of the environment, but also, Skittles aren't vegan.

Yeah, celiac is definitely a real thing. I knew a girl in college who had celiac and she would just get destroyed by the smallest amount of gluten. There's something called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but it's a new area of study and I'm a little skeptical of it.

Yeah, it's this weirdly unfalsifiable thing where the only metric we have to measure it is, oh, I feel off when I eat gluten. And sure, I'm certain that out there somewhere there are people this is true of. And I'm equally certain that 90% of the people who are talking about how they're gluten sensitive are actually suffering from some kind of eating disorder like orthorexia.

or hypochondriacs, or have some other kind of undiagnosed OCD expression. What's orthorexia? I don't think I've heard that word before. Orthorexia is an eating disorder where you think certain foods are clean and others are not, and you order all your eating around these concepts. I believe it is a form of OCD. I suspect a lot of people on these fad diets have orthorexia.

at least the people who are doing them long term. So I'm always skeptical when some sort of vague, nonspecific, unfalsifiable new thing comes out like gluten sensitivity. Come on, man, you have a hard time digesting bread. It's like the main staple crop of the civilized world for the last several thousand years. Yeah, I'm skeptical of this claim.

I'm not talking about those people. I'm talking about, oh, I feel bloated after I went ham on the free breadsticks at Olive Garden. Yeah, no kidding, dude. Of course you do.
