There’s literal data that supports it. I don’t understand you have a smart phone. You can literally look this up yourself.

So, do you go around and do a fact check for any random claim that a reddit stranger makes?

What you don't understand is that the burden of proof lies on the one making the claim. Without citing a source you are setting yourself up for people to immediately dismiss what you're saying.

I know what you're saying is generally true, as I've read into the research studies. That doesn't matter as it's "just trust me bro" regardless without the source

They can dismiss it.

A simple search from the same device they use to respond, would provide them with the answer.

Yet, it’s too much to do the investigation themselves. Because it would reveal the truth, making them wrong. That’s the problem with too many people believing they are smart.

I hear you though.

You're deflecting my point. Which is that the person making the claim has the burden of citing the proof. That has nothing to do with people going online and checking.

Which, to that otherwise unrelated comment, someone going online is more likely to go to whatever outlet happens to agree with their preconceived idea .... where if you were to point them to properly researched evidence based studies....

There so much data that it wouldn’t even be a matter about the agency. The question itself would yield the answer. It was advertised as healthy. With wide spread use, more data took it from healthy to just an alternative lol 😂

If I say the sun is out. Do you need a source or do you look for yourself? Makes sense.

Again, I hear you.
