[QUOTE="Eagle Eye, post: 2739263, member: 34489"] Thanks for the advice pops The problem is not that scientists are publishing false work, because, in none of the peer reviewed papers does it state that "X" (whatever you want it to be, Salt, butter, sugar, etc) will cause "Y" in under all conditions, for all people of different ages, sex, etc. etc. Scientists are very aware about the limitations of their studies and they communicate this by stating the "X" affected "Y" under specific conditions, And therefore [U]might [/U] be be responsible for "Y" in the Men, women, the young, the old, etc, etc. This means that [U]PROPOSE[/U] logical conclusions based on the evidence they have. It is then the politicians, dietitians, whom ever, that take these findings and spin them to their liking into generalizations. The published work about Salt, Sugar, whatever, has truth to it, under specific conditions. The problem is that NON-SCIENCE FOLK [U]that lack reading and comprehension skills[/U] conclude that "X" will cause "Y" under different conditions, for different people, sexes etc. etc. POLICIES, and FADS are not made by scientists. They are made by administrators/politicians, who incorrectly interpret the findings of scientists. So, there you have justification of you mistrust of, well, administrators and politicians (who ever else is in a position of Power). I don't have a problem with that, my problem is when you then go one and say that the scientists are wrong. Scientists do not have any power, they have to beg for money and do not get to make administrative or official decisions. Their job is to publish scientific findings and communicate them with the public that most likely funded them. Now, there may be Ex-science folk in administrative/ political positions. Those are not the same scientists that are slaving away in labs, although they may have been at some point in their lives. It's just too bad that the general public can not critically think or read and interpret results of a scientific study. Even worse are those that have critical reading and comprehension skills but will not acknowledge findings of studies that oppose their viewpoints. [/QUOTE]
