Nothing is funnier than the seemingly constant scare tactics used by well-worded headlines and liberally interpreted studies. The bottom line is that whatever you want to believe, you'll have a friend in science. There are numerous experts out there, especially in the diet world, who constantly cite research to prove their way is the best. And how can they be wrong if the science backs them up? It's always entertaining to see a couple of diet gurus go head to head, spouting studies in an effort to win a virtual battle.

A former classmate of mine worked for a company that provided statistics to companies through surveys and scientific research. He admitted that the studies usually worked backwards. In other words, the companies that hired them told them what results they were looking for and my former classmate found them data to prove it. It doesn't seem so far out when you see all the conflicting data out there.

This isn't to say science is to be ignored, but don't think that your beliefs are without criticism. There are always huge gray areas and let's face it, a lot of lies. Just watch any documentary by vegetarians. - Jim Wendler
