Milotic posted:World Health Organisation disagrees: http://www.who.int/features/factfiles/breastfeeding/en/ Unfortunately, the WHO has a regrettable history of endorsing poorly-supported ideas (although they endorse well-supported ideas, too!). Much of the modern literature on breastfeeding finds spurious effects that only appear when the most laxadaisical statistical approaches are employed. Here's an article going over some of the more egregious issues, many of which are present in the sources that the WHO cites https://www.google.com/amp/s/fivethirtyeight.com/features/everybody-calm-down-about-breastfeeding/amp/ My own son is almost 2 now, and I spent the first several months before his birth pouring through the literature on breastfeeding after trying to cross-check some of the more miraculous claims made on mommy blogs. What I found was utterly shocking. I had fully bought into the idea that breastfeeding actually did have many benefits, but my bullshit alarm led me to discover that nearly all of them were poorly founded. At this time, it seems like any observed benefits of breastfeeding are 100 replicatable by using a clean water source and holding your baby in a breastfeeding pose while using a bottle, ie skin to skin in a loving embrace. e: For the record, my wife wanted to breastfeed for awhile but decided to stop after going back to work. I was fine with whatever she wanted to do, because that's her choice. The lack of measurable benefit was comforting though QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Jun 1, 2018 |

13Pandora13 posted:As you can imagine, in a whole shitload of the world this is nigh impossible and breastfeeding is best. Even in the US you can pop out a boob for feeding but if you pop off your shirt to bottle feed you're going to get some weird looks. Since the WHO is for, y'know, the world and not just Europe and the US their recommendation is apt. Absolutely! In areas with lovely water the benefits of breastfeeding are unsurprising,and those benefits actually are well-supported. I'm just pointing out that when you have clean water and feed in a similar way, suddenly the benefits go away...

Pick posted:having knowledge in one area means that you are inherently more knowledgeable in other areas? Stem people are the absolute loving worst about this, hence ostensibly intelligent people investing in bitcoins and other loving nonsense. Because everybody else is stupid, because you’re so smart, mommy said so Doctors are arguably the largest contingent of stem and just as commonly guilty of this very real effect. However, that is not what is happening here.

Brother Entropy posted:if bottle feeding is equivalent in the best case scenario and worse in the worst case scenario then it sure sounds like breastfeeding is better to me On average, sure. The point though is that we're making a lot of mothers who aren't able to breastfeed feel lovely over that even when breastfeeding would make no difference to the health of their babies

13Pandora13 posted:I think you're missing their point though - you touted your background as if it made you more authoritative on the subject when it was irrelevant to the idea you were trying to convey in both subject matter expertise and the argument at hand. If you remove the sentence about your education/work, nothing else about the story changes, you just come off as show-offish like we're supposed to cede to your credibility. An understanding of statistics is actually super important for spotting the kinds of flaws raised in the 538 article that I linked to, but fine whatever, I'll go edit it out.

13Pandora13 posted:An understanding that medicine and epidemiology have to account for human (societal circumstances that would allow for topless bottle feeding) and environmental circumstances (consistent availability of fresh water) outside of hard numbers is super important for understanding how medical guidelines are established as well. The WHO page that was linked to earlier was specifically addressing the supposed benefits in cases where societal and environmental benefits are already perfect, the source that is being cited just isn't good

LOVE LOVE SKELETON posted:i can’t imagine spending a couple months being forced into exercise is really gonna convince anyone to make long lasting changes to their habits. unless they have a come to jesus moment after seeing the results they’ll probably just be even more stubborn going forward. Game shows and fat camps that just put you on treadmills and feed you roughage for 6 weeks aren't going to work well for long-term health but I don't think it's impossible for a fat camp to be beneficial. A surprising number of people just don't know anything about nutrition, are largely sedentary, and eat whatever is in front of them until they feel full. This is a surefire way to become fat, and breaking even just 1 of those can make a huge difference. Like say that a camp just teaches effective nutrition and portion control. This is probably going to result in someone losing weight, and food can be really delicious even when it's not covered in sugar and butter, so putting a fat person in that kind of environment might actually create a coming to jesus moment because they otherwise would never encounter that kind of effect on their own.

I will never understand how people can be such little bitchbabies about this poo poo. It will make her feel good to cook, and, unless she's serving actual feces, people will eat it and say nice things about it. I loving hate that guy for not supporting his wife in this tiny thing. She likes his family, and wants to feel like part of it, and he's embarrassed that she's not Meathead Goldwyn. Or in sushi lasagna's case apparently it'll just sit there and congeal in the sun while the wife just looks on sadly lol But yeah dude's an rear end

Ham Sandwiches posted:I'm saying if you have some poo poo you don't want people to get into explicitly telling them it's ok to do so seems like a very, very dumb idea, to me. That's it. This guy had a bunch of food he didn't want anyone to eat that was going to sit around for a while, he could have either said "hey please don't eat the stuff in the freezer" or said nothing, but he chose to invite the dude to eat the food, so I don't get acting utterly surprised that the other person did exactly that. Gee Ham Sandwiches let's try to break down this brain teaser together Maybe when the person said "feel free to use my food" they did not mean "please clean out the freezer and liquor cabinet, just go ahead and eat and drink everything you find". Everyone gets that technically she wasn't placing any restrictions on her friend, but even if you're given carte blanche any normally empathetic person is going to see all of that poo poo in a freezer and think "dethawing and eating all of this food would be crossing a line, I won't do that". That's why someone asked you if you're on the spectrum; "how do I get all of this food into my belly and/or back to my place" is not a normal, healthy reaction to being placed in that situation.
