You are confused again. In order for me to doubt a study I would need
to see the study. You have not offered any information about how to
obtain the study. So, I have no idea what this study actually says,
and in fact I do not know whether it exists at all. However, you have
chosen to believe blindly in a study which you have not seen either.
It's up to you of course to believe in anything you choose to believe
in. But do not accuse those who want to see the evidence before making
up their minds of being prejudiced. Rational people normally demand
evidence before making decisions. You obviously dont.

My students do give a fig what I think and they have done so for quite
a few years now. It is my responsibility as a lecturer to review the
literature and read it critically so that I can convey reliable
information in my lectures. I am trying to convey the same critical
view here in the hope that some people will understand that reliable
information and critical thinking is the only way to make an informed
decision on topics related to health (as it is in any topic, of
course). However, I insist, you are of course entitled to believe in
whatever takes your fancy, irrespective of what the available evidence
indicates.
