I would not claim BMI NEVER was useful. It is very primitive but not inherently harmful like you are portraying

Yes, BMI is not a great measure, because it doesn't take muscle mass into account. But fats, carbs, and proteins were not "assigned" a certain amount of energy like an arbitrary decision. Calories is a physics terms, and calories are a measurement of the energy require to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. In food,we uae kilocalories/Kcalories/Calories (capital C), which is 1 kilogram of water heated 1° C. And it's measured by how much burning a substance increases the temperature of water when burned underneath it. So foods were set fire in a specific setting to minimize heat going anywhere but to the water to measure the caloric energy they have. That's where the term "burning calories" comes from. The body needs fats and proteins for essential bodily functions. They are still *part* of our essential nutrients, they are macro-nutrients, as opposes to micro-nutrients. (In *theory*, you can survive without eating carbs, because your body can convert fats and proteins into glucose via gluconeogenesis, but they're much more easily and quickly converted into glucose in the blood, which is good for any aerobic/cardio activities. So you need carbs if you're not sedentary all day everyday.) Those quotes about artificial sweeteners are not research papers. I looked them up. The research on the harms of artificial sweeteners are done on animals, mice usually, and they feed those mice far more artificial sweeteners (in proportion to body size) than any human would ever be able to consume. Like dozens of cans of soda a day for aspertame, which you'd have side effects from too much water or caffeine long before the artificial sweeteners do anything negative to you. Artificial sweeteners are useful for people with diabetes, so we shouldn't be demonizing a way they can enjoy sweet foods based on article quotes that leave out the details of the research they're about. Also, the quote you show on screen, "You're body does not absorb all the calories in food" is not even the same as "calories aren't an energy the body is capable of using at all." This is coming from someone who has taken physics in college, and read a college nutrition textbook.

i do believe that each human being is a unique individual, not just in terms of characteristics, but also their biomechanisms, which is why i believe the moment you start addressing human issues by looking at generalizing numbers alone, ur probably making a mistake somewhere

What makes you think the physical makeup of food is relevant at all?

this is the dumbest take. ok BMI may not apply to body builders with 7% body fat, but most people with high BMI aren't stage ready for body building competition. if it works for 3 sigma, even 3 sigma of population, it is extremely useful. calories is also a scientific term and specifically useful in weight control. did you think that one metric would be good enough to encompass all health outcomes? this is such an obvious pandering to the fat people with low daily activities to make them feel good. why do you think that US has a much shorter average life expectancy compared to all other 1st world countries? it sure as shit isn't because we use BMI and calorie labels. if anything, lack of education around those things and these absurd denial of scientific/clinical findings around these metrics that lead to people over consuming and dying of cardiovascular diseases
