"The World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) says it doesn’t know if coffee causes cancer or not, a switch from 1991 when the agency said it did.
"That is bad for people who want to trust IARC’s recommendations –
because its reasons to remove coffee are no more valid than its reason
to have declared it possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) in the
first place. And the coffee claims are no more valid than any other
claims the agency has made about the hazards of common things."
This Should Worry People Who Care About Science
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
