[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2318025, member: 196898"] Indeed I do. We appear to be throwing centuries of scientific knowledge on the bonfire of public media, like they did when they burnt the libraries in the Middle ages. This forum has followed certain pathways, which appear at times to be the exact opposite of those followed by another diabetes forum that I read. So who decides the outcome? The Daily Wail? Old Fred propping up the bar in the local boozer? Where is the fount of knowledge if it is not in the education institutions? Which Guru is the best or which shouts the loudest or published more money making books? Jamie Oliver? I am a scientist, and I believe in data. I do not believe in statistics. or fairies. or smoke and mirrors. I have seen many studies published recently that are extremely poor quality in certain periodicals. I agree that many 'medical' studies were shown to have had flaws in them and were apparently driven by a conscious bias and financial interests. But new research has led to new ways of looking at things, as shown in the pages of this forum. But I have to say that this forum is very different from the other ones I see. You mention institutional data and peer reviewed data as bring different. Explain this, please. What you have put forward seems to be reflected in the USA at this very time, and I personally put my money and safety in the science, not the mask waving followers of that Guru over there. [/QUOTE]
