Was that the same year that it was settled science that one would have serious medical problems in the future, if you drank more that two cups of coffee per day?
I don't know. It's difficult to keep track of all the doom predictions over the decades. I tried listing some here a while back, but fell short of many which others included. That's why I say I've lost faith in science. Give enough money to enough scientists or ph.d wannabes and they will publish a thesis against long established science.
