And I&amp;#x27;m not trying to argue against low-carb... I feel better on low-carb diets myself. But this article lays out a couple scientific facts, while shaming the reader into unquestioning agreement by saying, &amp;quot;This is X 101&amp;quot;. But then lists a pseudo-scientific premise tied to their third &amp;quot;fact&amp;quot;, and tries again to shame the reader into agreement. This is simply a manipulative writing style, and we should be ignoring it, not discussing it.</text></comment>
