Completely agree - and most of us here do that. But the point I was making was *why* you were suspected to be a spammer; you registered and posted lots of links in your first few posts.
My advice was, that perhaps when you sign up to a forum like this one, maybe make an introductory post - even if to say that the topic of this thread interests you (give an overview of your opinion) and that you'll be happy to post links to articles and sources if anyone's interested.
That way you come across as more of a genuine member than a spammer (or troll?)

Again I agree - and most members here do just that, take what others say with a pinch of salt, and do the relevant research if they think someone has a valid point (and that goes for any links they post as sources or studies too).

This site like many others has an IGNORE facility and those people who anyone finds annoying or irritating can go to the Control Panel and under OPTIONS find the Edit ignore list option and include the names of those posters that irritate them.
Simple really.
Not really sure what you're saying here. No one, to my knowledge, has said they don't like 'science'
And even if they have... maybe
you should just ignore them

In fact I don't eat for me I eat for my heart.
People forget it is not just your blood vessels, it is organs as well especially the liver if you are eating the wrong saturated fat.
For your heart you need exercise, and lots of it on a regular basis, this will help tremendously with heart problems.
That's brill! Well not for having the heart attacks but for going on a healthy diet
I'm interested in these sort of things so would love to know what your diet consists of? Is it anything like the one I posted in my previous post?
