Righting the Wrongs

Turkey Twizzlers are good for you and polar bears aren't dying out! According to Professor Vincent Marks in a new book coming out soon anyway.

Melting ice caps, global warming, our favourite foods giving us cancer. The doom-mongers love to tell us we're all going to hell in a handcart. But don't panic! A new book uncovers some inconvenient truths that give the pessimists pause for thought ...

The main highlights include:
We don't know what causes heart disease,
Take health advice with a pinch of salt,
Mercury fillings are probably harmless,
Turkey Twizzlers are fine,
The Sun is behind global warming, our star not the newspaper,
The Maldives aren't sinking,
CO2 levels are not at unprecedented highs,
Polar Bears are not dying out ... nore are Penguins,
The Gulf Stream is not under threat,
There are few 'bad' foods,

This is the kind of science I love, I also like conspiracy theories.
