====A word on thermic energy and the calorific negativity==== | |||
From the perspective of metaphorical purity it is, alas, '''not''' true that eating celery burns more calories than it provides. A stalk of celery yields 6 calories, but we expends only half a calorie digesting it. Thus, celery has a “thermic effect” of about 8%, and would need 100% or more to generate “negative calories”. | |||
Despite its recurring popularity in dieting guides, there is no scientific evidence supporting the idea that ''any'' food is calorically negative. Sorry to prick that bubble, fellahs. | |||
