I remember when Meryl Streep testified before Congress about the Alar and the resulting scare caused in major losses to the apple industry....
The real problem is that our “scientists” are just as wrong as the celebrities. Proof? How many pharmaceuticals were “the cure” for something or another (after peer reviewed double-blind studies) only to be frantically pulled for dangerous side effects or ineffectiveness for the target disease. It’s generally AFTER consulting the “expert scientific opinions” that sick folks resort to alternatives, not the other way around.
