This applies to NHS as well as every other source.Yesterday's "scientific truth" becomes today's "we used to think".Where information appears in the public domain, we need to be very cautious about its sources before we give it credibility. Often "opinion" is marketed as "fact"."Qui bono?". If there is profit to be made, we again need to be very cautious about what we are told. Some very uncomfortable discoveries can lurk beneath the surface of matters such as new lower levels of health readings, causes/cures/treatment of illnesses, and so on. If there is not profit to be made (e.g. by diet-controlled T2 treatment) there is little incentive for even very valuable information to be shared.Nothing beats individual lived experience. Where this differs from theory, it should always be listened to, and analysed as thoroughly as possible.</blockquote>
