Actually it's a reflection of how ignorant I often feel these days because of all the information I'm confronted with but simply have to ignore because my brains have only a limited absorption capability. It would in fact be more accurate with regard to my personal case if there were more references to quantum and relativity and mathematics and all that, because that's the kind of stuff I'd like to know more about, but I can't go there because I've got only one life and other things to focus on as well. I do like how the "study finds" came out though, it kind of sums up the world we live in. I mean as in "coffee is healthy" this week versus "coffee is harmful" the next. When it comes to health advice, I tend to ignore EVERYTHING these days, no matter what this or that STUDY FINDS

Yes indeed... I feel the same way. I stopped listening to those food researches for some year ago too. I realized that my father was right... "eat a little of everything, and do not exaggerate in anything", was the best advice I could follow.  The alternative would have been something like "eat lots of carrots, and you'll stay healthy!", and then some months later " too many carrots provokes cancer!" . And then what do you do?!

Thanks. It's a reflection of the information overload I sometimes experience from having subscribed to the ScienceDaily  newsletter. In fact I tend to ignore 90% of it these days. I would have liked there to be less medical-and-human-related text, but apparently  at least three quarters of all published research is of a medical, psychological or sociological nature. Which is itself remarkable. I haven't got the figures, but I can imagine that 40-50 years ago, the majority of published papers had to do with physics and engineering and technology in general, which back then was "hot" after all, with all the SF and the moon expeditions going on. Back then inventors were looked upon as the wizards of their time. Now they're place has been taken by the "healers". Apparently.
