I remember when scientists were adamant that there was no advantage to whole wheat vs white bread.

I remember when ulcers were certainly caused by spicy food and coffee, they all agreed.

I remember when swimming less than an hour after one ate would definitely kill you with cramps.

I remember when doctors pushed Old Gold cigarettes because there wasn't a cough in a car load.

I remember when heart disease was treated with bed rest and no exertion.

I remember when sunburn was an unavoidable part of summer vacation and not a cause of cancer.

Hell, I'm old enough to remember when scientists scoffed at plate tectonics.

Science isn't " done" by consensus but by evidence. Where's the warming?

Hah!

I remember all those too and am afflicted with problems from a couple of them. Heck, the first doctor I can remember when I was a kid was a friend of my folks and he smoked like a chimney. I also remember Phillip Morris cigarettes being one of “I Love Lucy’s” main advertisers.
