Food study that turns our understanding of snacking on its head: Chocolate ICE CREAM is more nutritious than a granola bar, bacon is better than couscous and McDonald's pancakes are healthier than an omelette

It’s why this video is completely accurate even though it’s meant to be comedy.

This is obvious if you actually use your head for once.

An omellete for breakfast one of the favourites among professional athletes and gymgoers.

They're packed with protein, vitamin D and vitamin B12, which many struggle to get into their diets. And yolks are full of healthy fats.

However, a meat and cheese omelette gets just 26 points on the new Food Compass.

And 'fast food pancakes', often deemed as empty calories due to their lack of nutrition, scored 50 points.

For example, McDonald's pancakes with syrup contain 477 calories and a huge 41g of sugar and 1.5g of salt.

However, they do contain 10g of protein.


this study is nonsense

People who say this don't understand it.

Science isn't an outcome, its a process. "The science" can change quite often.

Look at that study from the perspective of blood sugar and insulin levels and let me know what you think.

Id bet that's a stretch in most cases.

What kind of bullshite is this?

I don’t trust anything these people say. I think this is a low key way to get people to eat less animal products.

No way McDonald’s pancakes with syrup are better for you than an omelette

Anytime "The Science" is brought up, it always reminds me that there was a time when "The Science" said that doctors should put leeches on people's bodies to suck out the bad blood.

There's your "Science."

Ok. What do you think has a bigger impact on blood sugar? A meat and cheese omelette or McDonald’s pancakes covered in syrup?

Because the pancakes got DOUBLE the score of the omelette

Blood sugar is clearly not driving these rankings

It's like saying that shooting yourself in the head is better for you than a 20-minute walk, because your body needs a certain amount of lead in it.

Because science isn't supposed to be "dogma" or faith-based. It is a tool (specifically, the scientific method) that, over time, creates a body of knowledge that, yes, is subject to change using that same tool.

It has been co-opted by the left (going back to Darwin and Marx if not earlier) to use as a hammer against their opponents.

I think the driving force behind a study like this is sustainability. They are going to give big points to anything with protein that doesn’t involve animal products.

Look at it through that lens and I bet it makes sense.
