Trust no one: 10 rules to live better

November 29, 2011

1) Trust no mobile phone company sponsoring medicine research

Mobile phones may give cancer, especially to your kids.

2) Trust no biotech company paying for research on GMOs

GMO tech is still too young to trust its producers

3) Trust no tobacco company publishing how healthy are cigarettes

Who trusted them died of cancer

4) Trust no beverage company bottling in plastic

Plastic at hot temperatures releases bisphenol A, an estrogen mimicking molecule.

5) Trust no food association denying aspartame risk

Aspartame has been reported causing cancer in the nervous system of mice.

6) Trust no pharma producing the anti baby pill

Playing with estrogens may cause breast cancer and other illness

7) Trust no market research operated by banks

Anything to explain?

8 ) Trust no miracle from beauty company

Botox makes you stupid

9) Trust no one making fun of climate change

There are data, not witchery, behind the studies on climate change

10) Don’t trust who gives sure answers to your questions

Science is about probability: if any of your behaviours could (might, maybe) lead you to premature death with quite high probability, wouldn’t you change it?
