"alternative opinions" are not science.

• coldtea 6y ago
  All opinions on a forum are "alternative opinions". We can't tell if somebody is a scientist here, or whether they're talking shit or not, or whether the consensus (like in many cases) are old wives tales (like "fat is bad for you"). Even peer reviewed papers are "alternative opinions". Unless it has been peer reviewed in several papers, repeated, empirically proven, and got into textbooks, I wouldn't consider anything a "solid scientific truth".

    Agreed. I take new, exciting findings with a hefty dollop of salt. I’m prepared to wait for replication of findings and/or a meta-analysis of a large body of work before taking medical or health-based research too seriously.
