No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Currently, one of my family members frequently sees a lot of conflicting nutrition and medical info on the internet with various influencers, so it can be hard for them to decipher what's true or not. Are there any channels with easy to understand shorts, that also meet the general scientific consensus?

sees a lot of conflicting nutrition and medical info

You can't have one without the other. Nutritional research is severely lacking in the literature. any of the cited studies that make the vast bulk of the scientific flotilla are just observational epidemiology... Which is very noisy.

I've done a bunch of reading, a massive amount really, and the only thing everyone agrees about is processed foods are bad... Except not all processed foods (the ones that further some other agenda)

Pick your flavor of opinion and people can suggest good creators in that vertical.

  • whole foods only direct from a farm, no processing at all
  • vegan
  • whole food vegan
  • Paleo
  • minimally processed foods
  • low fat
  • ketogenic

Personally - After all my reading I've settled on keto/carnivore, but to say there isn't consensus is a understatement. There are many people who make their diet their identify and feel personally attacked if you eat differently than them. The best thing I can say for keto is their evidence is consistent, lines up across domains, and individuals following it see immediate improvements in their health metrics

I can recommend the low carb down under YouTube channel for medical lectures on the keto, very clear about the quality and limitations of their evidence.
