Well, if you can’t even trust the medical literature on its face, where can you turn? We’re talking life or death information here! What you need is someone who will dig deep into the data for you and translate the gobbledygook into actionable tips on keeping you and your family healthy. Hmm, if only there was a website… :) If you appreciate the work we do, please consider supporting us (https://nutritionfacts.org/donate/). NutritionFacts.org relies solely on individual donations from users like you!
If you think just a little spin is bad, there is a much deeper rot in the medical literature. See my recent videos Disclosing Conflicts of Interest in Medical Research (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/disclosing-conflicts-of-interest-in-medical-research) and Eliminating Conflicts of Interest in Medical Research (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eliminating-conflicts-of-interest-in-medical-research).
