We often have a joke about scientific theories that were once gospel but are now dismissed as 'bro-science'.
What do you reckon will be classed as hokum in 5, 10, 15, 20 years time?
I accept that theories can only be made and proved using the empirical evidence and methods that are available to contemporary scientists. But there must be theories and best practices out there that we currently follow that will be disproved eventually.
I don't have the background to offer an example although I do remember thinking that I needed 5-6 regular small meals a day which we now know isn't necessary. Perhaps we'll one day discover that fat can be turned into muscle or something equally fantastic .....
