So this is specifically about sulfur influencing color, because we knew environmental factors caused color change way before that. Flamingos, as someone else else pointed out, but also I learned about this moth on my anthro class who changed colors because of a coal operation nearby

So was this study conducted by The National Wildberry Sellers Consortium or something?

Isn’t an important part of science to be skeptical of new findings? One of the metrics the article uses is attitudes that scientists are corruptible, as if we should deny that bias can have a huge affect on research. Research that is funded by billionaire think tanks and corporations should be closely scrutinized, they aren’t paying these scientists for results that hurt their bottom line.

You should really exercise though even if it isn't for weight loss.

So you're saying big Blueberry is behind this study?

Big blue(berry) strikes again

Only wild blueberries have.. um.. electrolytes.

I mean exercise can absolutely use up a ton of calories. 40 minutes of moderate-intensity cycling is probably burning 500ish calories. Maybe that doesn't sound like a lot but it's basically a 25% increase in calories burned for an average(ish) person. Ignore the fact that exercising can make maintaining a calorie deficit psychologically more difficult since you'll probably end up really hungry after.

There’s definitely a trend where Redditors vehemently disagree with or find the smallest ways to discredit studies that support conclusions they already disagreed with, while they agree without a second thought with conclusions that they already do agree with. There’s a lot of selective attention here. In fact, I’d argue that’s one of the main reoccurring issues I see whenever I find myself on a post on this sub.

Depends on the exercise and for how long. I can burn over 6-800 calories per hour cycling - and this is measured by a power meter, not just some estimation based on heart rate or something. Even for someone more casual 3-400 calories is a pretty substantial deficit.

Diet absolutely has the biggest effect though. You can't out-exercise a bad diet.

Yeah pretty much, it might raise your metabolism too depending on the substance. But if you're able to meet your calorie goals then it's not necessary and it's probably not good for you to use drugs like that for weight loss anyway, especially without medical supervision.

In the acknowledgements they say they used freeze dried wild blueberries given to them by The Wild Blueberry Association of North America.

How many calories in a cup of blueberries?

...as they post on a mobile phone

They are not cultivated. They are harvested in the wild and they have a different taste than regular blueberries. They are smaller and have more flavor. They are difficult to cultivate, so they are just picked wherever they grow.
