[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s ironic is that he is in charge of HHS and he doesn’t believe in science or understand scientific research. He’s Trump’s creature.

One doe not "believe" in science, as that implies "faith" and make it a religion.

REAL SCIENCE is 100% about being skeptical. Question everything. Constantly trying to DISPROVE EVERYTHING, that is the Scientific Method.

Science is not about finding "proof" it is about finding things that cannot be disproven, while continuously trying to disprove them. [/quote]

I am highly skeptical of all these data RFK jr is using to support his positions on food dyes. [/quote]

Good. Skepticism is good in Science and government.

Too many "yes men" who just go along with the crowd and the rich 1%/politicians/government/corporations.

That's why RFK is appealing to the public, he's asking questions and shaking things up. The more pushback he gets, the more popular he becomes.[/quote]

His position on dyes is not supported. Why is he making policy decisions based on unproven information?[/quote]

Even IF dyes were 100% safe, no question about it, God/Nature/Science/SpaceAliens/Thor all agreed they were safe, WHY would you still want unnecessary colorings in your food?[/quote]

I had eliminated food dyes from our diet for years and then did a deep dive on the research.  They really aren’t that bad for you.  There are much, much worse things in our food chain.  I’d start with getting rid of antibiotics in animals, increase monitoring for bacterial contamination, increase research on the harms of monoculture (eg if we are only eating on variety of wheat, there are effects on our body of that lack of diversity), and figure out a way to minimize plastics in our food chain (probably the most important but also the most difficult because there are significant trade offs with expense and transport of certain products like berries that are very good for you).   Food dyes would be way way way down the list, and I think almost all educated food scientists would say the same.

But RFK isn’t very bright, doesn’t understand scientists, and gets obsessed with certain ideas that he then won’t abandon.  So here we are.[/quote]

Cool, stop obsessing about dyes then if you like them, there are other concerns to be addressed so bring them to his attention. [/quote]
