For how many years were they telling is that 401 iu per day of Vitamin D would kill you?

REAL science is NEVER settled, that’s how we know “climate science” is junk science.

I work in academe so this is rank heresy with my colleagues but far, far too many of them have constructed a false god of the scientific method. While it can produce many positive results, it is not infallible.

It’s just a tool. Like a hammer or a 1911. Tools are misused by people with malevolent intentions every day.

... And so it begins. Atkins was right all along, so is the Keto diet. Expect all hell to break loose now.

Gravity isn’t settled science. Whoever coined that phrase (AlGore?) is an idiot.

"REAL science is NEVER settled, that’s how we know “climate science” is junk science."

Regarding the politically correct term “settled science,” Al Gore got the wires crossed between politically correct, vote-winning, Constitution-ignoring Supreme Court case precedents and actual science imo.

Insights welcome.

Scientific methods are not infallible but, properly applied, tend to be self correcting. This is the operation of “normal science.” When anomalies appear they often are first ignored, but eventually have to be accounted for, if the scientific community is functioning as it should.

The global warming enterprise deliberately aborts the functioning of the scientific community to prevent the emergence of contradictory results. That the damage is largely self inflicted does not mitigate the harm being done.

Isn’t that the point of the Scientific Method; too expose flaws, if any, in the preceding study methods and data.

This bombshell was published in the UK and released 12 April 2016.

It has been ignored by most American doctors/hospitals/HMOs and those who pushed the Statin drugs on us for decades and the high carb diets.

There have been zero published studies comparing a Paleo type of diet to the high carb/veggie centered diet re heart attacks and cardio problems with both diets.h

One other thing to consider re the push of Statins, if they did anything positive, they supposedly prevented early heart attacks. For those of us in our late 70’s and 80’s, that is past the early heart attack life span.

Re-evaluation of the traditional diet-heart hypothesis: analysis of recovered data from Minnesota Coronary Experiment (1968-73)

The only settled science relevent to today’s issues is that THERE ARE 2 SEXES (not “genders”) and ONE CANNOT CHANGE ONE’S SEX.

Oh, but scientific liberals don’t believe that!

“While it can produce many positive results, it is not infallible.”

You mean like the invention of heroin as a pain killer and DDT to kill the lice on the soldiers coming back from Europe. Or even the hidden aspect of before there was the use of hydrolyzing foods to increase their shelf life, there was no type II diabetes.

I’m a firm believer that now someone will come up with something wrong with everything we say or create in time down the road. Everything on this planet is there to get you one way or another. Doom and gloom.

But I’m also reminded about someone making the comment that there are a lot of health nut people in the hospital dying of nothing.
