Have you noticed how in almost every thread you post in, you end up with a gang of people telling you that you're full of shite? Do you think that might be an indication that you're not anywhere near as smart as you think you are and that you come off as obnoxiously arrogant?

Well let's see.

1. The OP links an article written by a woman named Melinda Wenner Moyer who is a

2. I post that I'll trust my cardiologist over said "freelance science writer".

3. You, and Mo joux come and attack me for being "smug" and how dare I think my doctors might know more than this stupid internet link.

I'm not even the one claiming to be smarter than anyone. That's what your arrogant (and ignorant) arse is doing. I'm saying I trust my doctors and you're the one acting like you know better.

The article linked in the OP actually cited and discussed a scientific journal article. Moreover, it in no way provided medical advice or implied that you should alter any specific medical advice that you have been given personally.

You're the one that decided (had bad reading comprehension) it did, and that you would ridicule the information by citing advice given by your doctors. It was a pretty smug statement that carried with it implications that doctors in general know more than some "freelance science writer". That's why some of us thought it was funny that you had past erroneous medical advice that you had received thrown back in your face.

Do you seriously not understand that this writer is simply reporting the data that researchers have found? It's not just her opinion that she came up with.

Do you know what a meta-analysis is? It's a comprehensive compilation of dozens of research papers on a specific topic. It's considered the gold standard of evidence in science.

So it's not your doctor's opinion vs this journalist's opinion, or my opinion. It's what your doctor has been told vs the data compiled by thousands of scientists who have committed their careers to studying this specific subject.
