It's fairly easy to check out whom funded certain research, and if it wildly conflicts with what we already know, and was funded by someone whom has a vested interest in skewing the numbers, then of course we can discern that something fishy is going on.
You do know that refer madness was made in 1936 right?
It was only drummed up by anyone in recent years for comedic value, as in "I can't believe people believed this shit back then".
You know, back when we thought smoking cigarettes was totally healthy?
Is it still seen as healthy now?
No.
Do Tobacco companies have billions in funds to attempt to sway scientists in saying it's healthy?
Sure.
Do scientists and health experts say it's healthy?
No.
I understand that you could say that there might be a problem in certain people going out of their way to try and pretend they have done research, but all they have done is make wild blind claims.
The problem though is that most of those that are wild and outlandish are seen as such, and are debunked and scoffed at by the scientific community at large.
It's the same reason you can find some nutty scientists whom still try and say intelligent design is a possibility, despite piles of evidence to the contrary.
Sure, you can find their work being toted on fox news or some shit, but you wont find it in a scientific journal, and using that as an example for why somehow all scientists (aside from the ones whom come up with the answers you like I assume) are sellouts who lie to you, is pretty crazy.
