As far as I can tell the author of this piece has no medical credentials. Are you going to listen to some fool on the internet or to the MDs from the CDC and your state health deparments?
Oh yes! Credentialism is going to save us all! The same agencies who conducted the Tuskegee Experiment, told us margarine is better than butter, invented the food pyramid and still fight low carb diets should be the Authoritah!
There’s also this Statin thing too, as well as the modern quaalude of SSRI.
So no. I don’t trust them. They are seeking control.
Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.
When someone says, “Science teaches such and such,” he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn’t teach anything; experience teaches it. If they say to you, “Science has shown such and such,” you might ask, “How does science show it? How did the scientists find out? How? What? Where?”
It should not be “science has shown” but “this experiment, this effect, has shown.” And you have as much right as anyone else, upon hearing about the experiments–but be patient and listen to all the evidence–to judge whether a sensible conclusion has been arrived at.
