by Fred Hahn on May 11, 2011

Forks over Knives is on its way to a theater near you. The creators claim that a meat based diet will kill you and a plant based diet will save your life.

Gary Taubes vs. Dr. Oz: Science vs. Logical Fallacies

March 14, 2011

(Open heart surgery. The field of work that Dr. Oz IS an expert in.)

October 17, 2010

October 2, 2010

That of course is the subtitle of the late Carl Sagan’s 1995 book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. (Affiliate link.) A book I read on my honeymoon 14 years ago on the island of St. John. A book that changed the way I view everything.
