Nothing quite like a site titled "Better Science" with the disclaimer:

"While I understand the basics of a clinical trial, I’d like to point out that I am no medical scientists. Most of the issues here were spotted by other people and I have linked to the sources."

You cannot make this s@#t up!

Put on your critical thinking caps folks -- there's a lot of bad info out there.

As soon as I read that line, I closed the window. Not worth it.

Why? I'd rather get information from a humble expert from a different field than from a braggart who thinks they're an expert.

I've noticed that too. I think it might be due to all of the doomsday predictions going around on cable news scaring people. If you've just liquidated your 401k into cash at market lows, you're going to want reassurance that it was the correct thing to do
