  • How can I as an uneducated person learn to properly research things to get unbiased/correct information?

  • Accurate
    Well if the scientific white papers are written in latin and higher math then what do you expect? In the end non-medical people are at the mercy of the medical PR people, webmd.com, etc. like.. Are you really gonna sit there and tell me there isn't a political reality to science and medicine? Remember when like a dozen cigarette manufacturers testified under oath that tobacco is not addictive? like.. Nicotine... - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
