* Alcohol in all forms has been said to be 100% unhealthy and it shouldn't be consumed. Than a couple of years ago researcher said that red wine was actually healthy for teh heart but not other forms of alcohol. They had also added that all alcohol in moderation has healthy benefits to them.



* Chocolate and oily foods was said to be one reason for acne. Now researchers say that they don't contribute to acne in any way.



* Homosexuality was once classified as a disease.



* Medical doctors thought that baby formula was much better than breast milk for children. Now doctors say the exact opposite is said to be true.



* Milk was once recommended for coating the stomach and it would help alleviate stomach ulcers. Now the thought of milk is discouraged and has been found to actually agravate ulcers.



* Diet had absolutely no effect on diseases or illnesses. Now people are being told that diets have a huge effect on the prevention and causes of diseases and illnesses.



* Medical science once had evidence that when a person removed their tonsils and appendix it improved their health and it was said that it should be done to about everyone. But now the medical community has actually reversed that thought and idea.



* Children with asthma were actually told to stay in enclosed pool areas because the humidity was good for their asthmatic condition. Now a days researchers suggests that the chlorine in the air from the pools aggravates and make the asthma in the children with the condition much worse.



* The most obvious is the example of all the thousands of drugs that have been proven and approved by the FDA because they were proven to cure or even prevent certain kinds of diseases and they were said to be safe for people. Later as the years went by those same drugs that the FDA approved were actually taken off the shelves because it was proven that they actually didn't cure or prevent those diseases that they were fighting as the FDA thought. Another reason why they were taken off the shelf was because it was found that the drugs were actually more dangerous to a person than if they took it.



* A low calorie diet was said to be the only way to lose weight. When the actually fact is that it's not the calories but the amount of fat that a person eats that will determine a persons' weight. But still the new rage is that it's not the calories or the fat but it's the carbohydrates that cause obesity.

Another amazing find ZOOT!!! Great work. More of what scientists called fact that are now proven false! Lie I keep saying and obviously people are still getting cinfused by is that fact that just because some scientist calls something fact "today" does not mean that its so.It only means a LACK OF BETTER KNOWLEDGE exists at this time.Todays "scientific" facts are tomorrow's falshoods.

SCIENTISTS are humns and make mistakes.Its sad that people see them as these magical beings that have answers to everything.

TweetAdd to that list that natural cancer treatments do not work and now all the major cancer treatment centers are offering it!

TweetAwesome information Zoot!!! Thanks!!!!

TweetI love them all, but still believe that the resveretrol from the grape skins is what makes wine a health drink and that alcohol in moderation is no different than saying taking ibuprofen in moderation is good. Yes, there was actually a study done somewhere that showed it beneficial for mens sex drive to just stay on ibuprofen for life.. .Alcohol kills. It is not treated well by the human body. There are much better ways than alcohol. Im not judging anyone who wants to have a drink, I just think it aint no health drink lol

Tweetto me personally i think it is the all mighty dollar that drives most of these studies and that is the main cause of them being flawed. that of course is just my opinion and not backed by scientific research

Tweetwell well well!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tweetgreat post zoots

Tweeti used to be sick with strep and get sinus infections all the time as was my son. we had our tonsils and adnoids taken out and have been healthy ever since.

neither me nor my boy have had strep since, not once. but i have heard that they do contain immune boosting cells but they are not the only places in your body where this type of cells are found

TweetI still get a kick out of the blood-letting.. . Not many things could be worse for someone trying to fight off disease...

Tweetthis is good stuff. i think many of these studies/opinions change due to changes in our natural environment and changes in how the foods we consume are made. think about it.....years back did we ever have pink slime?

Tweetwat gets me about medicine is how stupid drs are to the side effects that happen from them, youll tell them I cant this or that and they say " it don't happen with this drug" . I never tell dr iam a nurse as I like seeing how stupid they really are. sorry off topic.

Not off topic at all bro. Knowledge of ourselves and the things Dr's prescribe for us is our best defense for staying safe from some of the poison they would have us believe is ok for us.

I agree brotha. I'm always skeptical of doctors. Now there are many doctors out there who have saved lives and improved many people's well being, but I think there are just as many that over prescribe and actually hurt people more than help them. Unfortunately we live in a prescribed society. Just look at TV commercials. I counted one evening and watching a 60 minute show I saw 7 prescription medication commercials. All with horrible side effects stated on the commercial. Our society doesn't pay attention to the side effects listed and everyone just runs to the doctor and says, "Hey! Can I try this?" and the doctor (because of $$ in my opinon) says "Sure! I think this will help you." But what this person doesn't realize is they're not just taking one medcation because of the crazy side effects. They have to take a 2nd medicatin to control the side effects from the first and so on. When it was ultimately an issue they could have gotten under control with some lifestyle changes and natural remedies. Everyone wants the quick fix.
