| Mar 3, 2011 at 23:08 | comment | added | James Mertz | A better way of asking that one would be "does the consumption of asparatime negatively affect a work-out for weight-loss". | |
| Mar 3, 2011 at 23:07 | comment | added | James Mertz | I voted to close as I felt the question itself was worded as subjective. However I feel that questions of this nature a allowable, if and only if they are on-topic... i.e. "related to strength, endurance, agility, and cardiovascular fitness". | |
| Mar 3, 2011 at 20:51 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | Exactly! Which is why I would prefer to not allow the questions at all. Especially when that doesn't mean you can't ask any nutritional questions, just not questions like these. | |
| Mar 3, 2011 at 20:49 | comment | added | G__ | Understand - but I think the onus is on the answerers, and not the asker, to know if there are appropriate citations. Someone asking a question is asking because they don't know the answer (or resources to get the answer) for that particular question. | |
| Mar 3, 2011 at 20:26 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | I'm not saying we should be this strict to require citations with every answer, but especially when we're talking about something that's non-trivially measurable, the questions just invite discussion and argumentation. Which off course in itself is off-topic as well... | |
| Mar 3, 2011 at 20:21 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | I'd turn it around @Greg, because we don't know if there's an answer we shouldn't allow these questions. Based on what @Aaronaught said on Area51 I do think we need some form of "No Original Research" policy. Unless the knowledge it as least accepted to be 'common' knowledge to experts in that fields, I don't think it should be allowed. | |
| Mar 3, 2011 at 19:40 | comment | added | G__ | Disagree with this one. The title is a bit provocative, but question wasn't horrible as it gave a specific amount of aspartame that would be taken. I don't think we want to set a precedent of only asking questions that we know in advance there are published studies answering (if I knew, I'd just go read the study instead of posting here!). | |
