Thanks for the list Will be a good tool for guidance.

I figure that the whole "eggs are bad!" argument is, at its core, a confusion of correlation/causation.

This is why it's always bothered me when I've read different health/workout forums where people say "it doesn't matter what you eat -- just eat less and work out to lose weight." If there's anything statistics has taught me, it's that increases/decreases can be deceptive in their details. Distributions and ratios matter, and it kinda bugs me that there's such an anti-math/science bias running through the industry. Seems like even leading figures aren't fully immune from launching off an occasional broscience bomb or two.
