Why The Huffington Post Should Never Be Read For Science Information

"One of the latest contributions from HuffBlow to the national dialogue comes courtesy of self-described teenage 'food safety activist' Rachel Parent, who skyrocketed to fame after giving an anti-GMO talk for Tedx and debating Kevin O'Leary. Her new article is titled "GMO Propaganda Has No Place In Your Child's Classroom." She then goes on to regurgitate her own propaganda."

Many findings of science are counter-intuitive, and difficult to accept because the human brain has flaws, such as confirmation bias, hyperactive agency detection, false memories, the placebo effect, religious experiences, and the misinterpreting of medical spontaneous remissions.

It is HOW you think, not what you think that is most important.

If you accept claims without evidence, you are credulous or gullible.

If you require sufficient evidence before accepting a claim, you are a skeptic, or a critical thinker.

If there is a claim without supporting evidence, "I don't know" is the only honest response. The burden is always on the one making the claim.

Scientific results are not "certain" but are provisional, based on evidence and probability, and subject to modification and advancement with better evidence.
