Vlad, that's an un-sourced argument from authority. (And particularly unconvincing authorities, in the case of athletes and body-builders, who have been known to jump on a lot of wild and often harmful nutritional fads.)
That was the point--your arguments are unsourced. :)
You can't source an absence of evidence.
Please source your argument, that I am not allowed to appeal to authority or make bold claims without evidence, but you are. :)
Because its a marker for a junk food, but not literally the problem.
