The concept of dietary calories is ridiculous nonsense. Are there people who really still believe that crap? Next theyll tell us that the food contains at least five times the daily recommended amount of phlogistan.

Not sure I understand your post.

Using bomb calorimeters on food, ironically, was more scientific than using mathematical estimates.
There is no specific relationship, though, between chemical energy content of foods and overall health that I can see.
