The only science that we can possibly trust is the third-party, peer-reviewed kind that exists in a healthy, skeptical and academic environment where there isn't lots of cash or promises of prestige being dangled in front of noses. Having said that, the fact that those California warnings desensitize people, and appear without providing any sort of qualifiers to that information is almost as damaging as fake research.[/QUOTE]
