its many claims are supported only by anecdotal evidence, and while there is an overwhelming amount it does not amount to scientific evidence.


This is a favorite rebuttal from some people. The ones who say stuff like, "I want X number of journals with X levels of peer review with X double-blind studies..."

Okay, fine. I would certainly want that if I, say, was signing up for a head transplant. Can't be too careful with that kind of thing.

But eating the way humans have for thousands of years? When I can stop at any time? When there are NO permanent side effects within years even by the most skeptical authorities? When I can get a medical test to see if the heinous consequences are about to happen? When I can get rather swift body feedback on how my body feels about it?

I'll give anec-data a try. Especially if I'm suffering now and I don't have 20 years to wait for new stuff to migrate into the mainstream.
