The contaminant theory of modern obesity posits that environmental contaminants cause the modern plague of obesity and explains why reasonable intuitions like “calories in, calories out” aren’t sufficient: https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/07/07/a-chemical-hunger-part-i-mysteries/ But is it true? In five years let’s see if expert consensus (judged as experts I personally deem to be credible and worth listening to) accepts the hypothesis. For my standards this will require a burden of solid evidence backed replicated research. Closes early if consensus is reached early. Close date updated to 2025-04-09 11:59 pm Apr 2, 9:33pm: updated to three years as I screwed up the title, changing closing date to match that.
