Scientist appears to be stupid
I was looking at the medical news and spotted this article
Everyday Beliefs About Food Refuse To Give Way To Scientific Evidence
while I was reading it, I was annoyed that they do not know why people hold on to old beliefs.
I think it is because science is always saying that they thought that they knew what was going on with something and then later say that they were wrong.
for example, how do we know that some genetically modified food will not damage the microbes inside our bodies and take years or a few generations to show up.
the answer is that we can't really tell scientifically, but then again, no one has ever looked.
doing what people before you did for thousands of years is usually safe, even if incorrect.
why do the scientist not see what is going on ?

"doing what people before you did for thousands of years is usually safe, even if incorrect.

Yes, it is incorrect. Also, it is only safe if your goal is to get by just long enough to sexually reproduce. That's what people have done for thousands of years. In the last century we have gone from subsistence living to doubled life spans.
I for one want to live to see my lifespan doubled again.
