Why should we believe any so called scientific study when there is no real accountable control, or transparency?
The article is not very long, and it makes some excellent points about the bureaucracy of our scientific community. In this day and age misinformation seems to pour all over us on a daily basis as long as it is juicy enough. JMHO
Science has stepped on it's own dick too many times to be trusted without question.
But, I still only eat bacon when science reports that the grease helps my blood flow slide more easily.
Depending on the amount of evidence and the level of danger, I usually go with common sense and moderation. One week we have a study showing the great health benefits of coffee .... the next week we're informed that it's horribly dangerous. I'll drink a cup of coffee when I feel like it and take a glass of wine when I want one .... it has worked for me for many decades.
I agree.
Plautus (c.250–184 bc), 'moderation in all things is the best policy.'
I think, too often, results of research are falsified or manipulated to reflect what the researcher wanted the results to be. Falsified reseach is then passed off as truth.
some people will not believe no matter what
That's true, and it's a shame. Too much junk science has been passed along so the integrity of the entire field has been tainted.
Some people subscribe to the belief that if they say it's true enough times, it becomes true.
I have read a scientific study about those people who will not believe any scientific study no matter what.
Ha Ha! Now that's funny!
