Yes, but are the researchers telling the truth, or are they releasing
"research" that will result in more health problems so the medical
industry can make more money? You know how it goes: one week bacon causes
cancer, and the next week, it prevents stomach cancer.

I can find it easier to trust that a doctor has the best intentions, but I
think doctors are routinely lied to, and those lies are unwittingly
spilled onto patients.
