Pick the science
a)
“As I write this, I am finishing the amazing three-week long Clean detox program…I can report that it worked wonders.”
b)
“The rest of the claims are not substantiated by any evidence. Indeed, the whole philosophy of detox is based on the unlikely premise that accumulated toxins cause a sluggish metabolism, weight gain, general undefined malaise, and so on.”
3.
Pick the science
a)
“The U.S. government probably invented #Ebola, put it in Africa and blamed it on them.”
b)
“Retrospective studies conducted by WHO staff and Guinean health officials identified the index case in West Africa’s Ebola epidemic as an 18-month-old boy who lived in Meliandou, Guinea. The boy developed an illness characterized by fever, black stools, and vomiting on 26 December 2013 and died two days later. The exact source of his infection has not been identified but likely involved contact with wild animals.”

Pick the science
a)
"Lavender & Ylang Ylang #EssentialOils are naturally calming & help prepare your body for sleep. #GoodNight http://buff.ly/2hJc4Td "
b)
"The results of this study clearly support previous work indicating that essential oils can influence mood (Roberts & Williams, 1992; Buchbauer et al., 1991; van Toller & Dodd, 1988). More important, we have demonstrated that the inhalation of ambient aromas of essential oils can significantly affect aspects of cognitive performance. Further, due to the design employed in this study and the deliberate diversion of participants attention away from the odors, these effects are considered to be irrespective of participants expectations or beliefs."

Pick the science
a)
“The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”
b)
“Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade since 1850. The period from 1983 to 2012 was likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1400 years in the Northern Hemisphere, where such assessment is possible (medium confidence). The globally averaged combined land and ocean surface temperature data as calculated by a linear trend show a warming of 0.85 [0.65 to 1.06] °C over the period 1880 to 2012, when multiple independently produced datasets exist (Figure SPM.1a)”

“The incidence of developmental regression did not differ between cohorts, and [we] observed no difference in the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms between vaccinated and unvaccinated autistic children.”
