alt Hacker NewsWhy would it be my personal opinion? Do you think I was the one who did the research debunking them?
If you're too lazy to Google it for yourself, here's a history of the Blue Zone research, how the original "researcher" is profiting off of it, and the careful work that has been done to debunk it: https://www.science.org/content/article/do-blue-zones-suppos...
I think you misunderstand. You think blue zones are "thoroughly debunked". And it might be even true that blue zones aren't real.
But I am not seeing any evidence that the general public is aware of this. And thus we need more of the articles "asking" this question so that more people are aware of the issues on it.
FYI, the article you linked basically tells the same story as the topical article. Are you too lazy to read it before commenting?
