RE: Weight Loss: Is Detox a Thing?

in #steemiteducation6 years ago

I'm not sure these products aren't a problem. I am sure your antipathy towards science is a problem.

As I've stated before, I (and SCIENCE insofar as there is a voice called SCIENCE) agree that diets can be improved by substituting high-nutrition foods for low-nutrition foods.

Furthermore, I agree that corporations will do anything to protect their profits, including things that are detrimental to human health.

What I have a problem with is your rejection of science. We can't have a conversation about cause and effect, about evidence, about what is harmful, beneficial, or simply benign if we can't agree on how we gather reliable information.

Sort:  

Science has nothing to do with my work with individuals helping them to lose weight and get healthy. It is completely off the topic and irrelevant to the work I do.

Check into the effects of potato pesticides if you want to spend the time. A lot of it is in my post already. Then if you think you are your family should still be eating regular potatoes, I would love to know how you come to that conclusion. I do not bother looking anymore - I just don't eat that product.

I gather information from the 1000's of people I see in groups who are much more reliable then paid lackeys who are scared for their jobs and their lives. They cannot buck the company and govt lies or they will not have a job at the very least.

You say, "Furthermore, I agree that corporations will do anything to protect their profits, including things that are detrimental to human health." But I don't think you get the ramifications of this yet.

And I don't think you understand the ramifications of rejecting the scientific method. We're talking in circles. Science is entirely relevant to the work you do. I don't want to sound rude, but I feel like you don't understand what science is and you're rejecting it instead of capitalism, when capitalism is the villain here and science is a tool anyone can wield.

All current science is funded by the people poisoning the food supply. No scientist is free to study anything but what they are paid to do. I avoid all of the toxic products and suggests others do too.

The vast majority of healthy food is free of all the toxins created by science. They only problem is finding it if you are in the us.

My only interest is to find out when more toxin is being applied. For example - a 2012 law forces warehouses to spray fungicide on all food stored in them every 36 hours. This is a whole new level of poison and can be avoided - though not easily.

"science is a tool anyone can wield" <<< No it is not. You need money. No one has money but the big guys. They also crush, fire, jail, kill, or find a way to remove funding for, anyone who tries to do any studies they do not like.

This is why few studies have been done about the cancer-causing effects of gmos and all of them occurred outside of the us. And the same goes for round-up - the toxin used on gmo fields.

No studies are done. The American people are the lab rats and most other countries in the world do not let this stuff over their borders.

Are you being hyperbolic or do you really believe you can only do science with massive funding? Do you think this ( https://leader.pubs.asha.org/article.aspx?articleid=2423607 ) is in some way a lie?

Feel free to summarize - but just guessing - yes.

It's already just a summary. Should take only 2 minutes to read it.

Not interested.

I did not look at your study but:

  • This is basically a trade organization funded by the manufacturers of devises in the field. They fund what they want to see.
  • The first article of the first page says the fda is not allowing certain devices to be called hearing aides. This is a lobbying success for this group who wants to get the most bang for their patent buck.
  • Any "scientist" associated with this group who wants to study cheap remedies for the problems they care about will not get funded.

So you show me the exact reason I do not waste my time in places like this. If I had a family member with any of these problems, I would go to fb groups first to get an understanding of what works and doesn't work from others long before I would be coming to this site - even if I ever did.

This is an article about an 8th grader who at home, unfunded, discovered a way to make his hearing aid batteries last longer. You can find the story in a bunch of different places.
