Milk is bad - milk is good (calcium) and helps in weight loss; cheese is bad - cheese is a good source of protein; red meat is bad - red meat is an excellent source of protein; all fats are bad, but now they contribute to a mans health, vitality, and testosterone levels.
Cholesteral is bad (even though its naturally produced in the liver); now it's about triglycerides; sticky blood palets cause clots, but too thin blood causes internal bleeding and ulcers.
The planet is cooling in the 1970's; the planet is warming in the 2000's; recent reports are the planet temps have levelled off in the last 10 years.
Anyone remember alcore (sp) that almost decimated the apple industry back in the '70's? Turned out wrong.
Population growth will cause mass starvation world-wide. Didn't happen.

Pluto is one of the nine planets in our Solar Sytem; Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
The 2006 and 2007 hurricane seasons would be the worst on record due to global warming; the 2006 and 2007 hurricane seasons were relatively mild, again, due to global warming; the artic is melting - Greenland's ice sheet is building.
My all time favorite: Boys and Girls are born with the same blank slate and are a product of their upbringing and environment according to socialogists in the late "60's and early '70's. Flash forward a decade and Newsweek announces boys and girls have different mental make up. As if any parent can't see the obvious difference in their childrens' gender differences.
Here's some more from our oh-so-wise sages of early men of learning: Apollo rides sun-chariots around the World; the dead have to cross the river Styx; little civilization exists beyond Rome's empire; the Sun revolves around the Earth; go far enough to the West and you will fall off the planet; the Plaque was a god's revenge; earthquakes, volcanice eruptions, tornadoes, hurricanes were also god's revenge.
Lest I forget: Some ancient primitive persons wrote some books that was coalesced into what we know as the Bible. These were unknowlegable people of the time who thought a meteor in the sky was an Angel. They were the original flat-earth believers and had no understanding of the physics of the universe beyond their own simplistic viewpoints.
Almost every day our knowledge grows and finds our prior beliefs have been wrong. Even Einstein has been proven wrong according to some modern day physics. We are children in our understanding of the Universe and even our own Earthly history.
Bottom line: Scientific truth is ever changing. It is not absolute because we just don't know all. Vitamin D may be good...haha!. Then again, it may cause whales to uprise against mankind.

Remember the attack on cranberries and on tuna fish (a more recent one)? You were scared to even serve cranberries at one time. Fortunately, I look at all of this as BS and I’m gonna eat what I like.
