Mete, I have read many of the studies you mentioned, and even though some present compelling conclusions, you must realize that most of these medical studies use statistical analysis for the basis of their research. While statistics are an effective tool for methodology, they cannot prove a hypothesis; only provide support for one.

There are hundreds of known carcinogens, both natural and artificial, and confirming their toxic effects requires controlled, laboratory procedures. Pure statistical-only studies can only correlate a cause; not confirm it. Lastly, the study MUST be reproduced by peer research in order to substantiate the study.

This is what I mean when I say where is the proof. The hypothesis must stand the test of time and fresh studies are not gospel.



Curiosity yields evolution...satiety yields extinction.
