Science is full of false starts

This article here talks about ‘knowing’ how and why living cells age. As required scientists make a discovery and then extrapolate from there to a nice conclusion. They then set up tests to prove those theories and slowly but surely move towards a theory that holds up.

The only thing is that sometimes those theories are accepted by the public as fact and they act on them before they are tested. Many a false industry has been set up because ‘It looks like X stops Y’ and off go the marketers to sells the elixir of life to people. Now that is life, it’s not too much of a problem usually but as the climate change scam shows it can go wrong big time.

Others can be almost as bad. It seems that Red Wine isn’t the elixir of life either according to the article. Bugger.

However, I have a fool proof way of deciding if something is good for you or not. Taste it.

If it tastes good and you want more then it’s not good for you. Simple.
