IMO, in any debate the burden of proof rests on the person with the "controversial" claim. Think about the kinda people that populate this forum. Read their blogs. It's mostly people who eat the wrong food, get fat, and then try to exercise their way out of the mess they unwittingly created, and very likely fail in the long run because they don't know that you can't exercise your way out of a bad diet. IOW these people are typical Americans. Most of them are running around worrying about where they're gonna get their protein, most think milk "does a body good" and is "good for your bones", most think "grilled chicken is healthy", most think cheese is ok "in moderation", most think eggs are "a good source of protein", etc.
In short, most here have the usual views that are consistent with the culture they live in and naturally their views neatly serve the profit interests of very large, culture dominating, concentrated sources of domestic power (think meat, dairy, and egg industry, and indirectly the pharmaceutical industry). Their view is the standard view. The burden of proof doesn't rest on them. They can post one-liners and opinions and it's perfectly ok, and that's
the way it should be. When you're on the other side, making controversial claims you are obligated to back up your claims, and that's why, as much as I can, I'm gonna back up what I say with the best science I can find.
