Need a better example

I think we need a better example. Given that even Phillip Morris now admits second hand smoke is dangerous, this is not a good example of incorrect science. I propose adding an example about [Eggs and Cholesterol]. When studies had found that Cholesterol clogs arteries in humans and there was Cholesterol in eggs, the government began recommending people not eat eggs. However, what was missing from this science was a causal link. That is, it was not shown that the intake of Cholesterol in diet causes an increase of Cholesterol in blood. We now know that most Cholesterol in blood is made by the body in overweight individuals and individuals with high saturated fat intakes. So eggs are now fine to eat -- as long as they are not combined with high calorie, high fat side dishes.

I will wait a couple days before making the change to see if anyone has any input or better examples. Thanks! --PhineasBogg 13:49, 29 December 2007 (EST)

I went ahead and made this change. --PhineasBogg 16:57, 30 December 2007 (EST)

Now do the same for the "ozone hole" and skin cancer; is there a ultraviolet link, or what? (After that, maybe you can tell us whether air temperature drives carbon dioxide or is it the other way around?) --Ed Poor ^Talk 22:57, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
