You Bet Your Life

The next time someone tells you something is a "known fact" or "scientifically proven," make sure you spend some time critically thinking about what they are telling you. Does it conflict with other "known facts" you've been told? Just because something was said by a scientist doesn't make it a scientific fact. Most professionals won't take any statement seriously until it has been published in a peer-reviewed journal. Especially when it comes to matters concerning your health, people have a lot of products they want to sell you based on a lot of theories backed by no credible research. As my doctor would say, try it if you want but you're playing a high stakes game called "You Bet Your Life."
