Eat more chocolate: Contrary to expectations, eating chocolate every day protects the heart, helps you burn fat and reverses ageing in clinical trials (removes wrinkles)
Low cholesterol levels are a bigger killer than high cholesterol: If you are on cholesterol-lowering medication, read the latest scientific studies and ask your doctor about the risks of low cholesterol. “Paradoxically, participants who had greater reductions in serum cholesterol had a higher, rather than lower, risk of death…There was a 22% higher risk of death for each 30 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) reduction in serum cholesterol…there was no evidence of benefit in the intervention group for coronary atherosclerosis or myocardial infarcts [heart attacks].” In other words, the lower your serum cholesterol, the higher and higher you raised your risk of a heart attack. “Results of a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials do not provide support for the traditional diet heart hypothesis,” the study reported.
Avoid multivitamin supplements – they are linked to a higher risk of cancer
Sunscreens don’t work against melanoma – the latest scientific reviews of sunscreens in 2016 have found they don’t protect against melanoma and probably never have, raising massive questions about misleading trade practice health claims.

Winger claimed that gardisal didn’t prevent cancer . Which is 100% true, it prevents hpv which leads to cancer . I suspect Wishart is applying the same layer of bullshit to his claims. Ie Sunscreen doesn’t prevent melanoma is prevents sunburn which can lead to melanoma. I hope no one dies as a result of listening to him but if you’re stupid enough to listen to someone as dishonest as him taking yourself out of the gene pool pushes the eventuality of the idiocracy out by a year or two.

Very sad that they lost two children. Unfortunately I suspect they’ll be turned into memes in the next round of pro disease crap coming to Internet forums and Facebook feeds.

Yeah that is a heartbreaking story. Bloody hell what are the odds, just can't imagine what they are going through.
And yes, despite the couple making it very clear they are not against vaccines, the vile pro-disease crowd will undoubtably latch on to that and try to exploit the story for their own batshit crazy agenda.

yeah apparently the process of storing, administering and mixing the vaccine is what can leave it open to issues, given Samoa has higher rate of vaccinations than NZ, this is pretty devastating for the Samoan communities.

Well done that woman

Health facts got in the way of Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle magazine Goop
The print magazine of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop lifestyle brand was shut down after the publisher Condé Nast insisted on fact-checking the health claims made by alternative healers.The magazine, goop, was launched with great fanfare last year but only two issues were produced before the project was abandoned.
Paltrow has now revealed that the partnership failed because of Condé Nast’s “old-school” rules, including that the advice offered by health experts was scientifically verified.
The Goop website and lifestyle brand was founded by the actress in 2008 and is now valued at about $250 million.
It regularly attracts criticism for promoting questionable new age therapies, most notoriously recommending that women pay for a “v-steam” to cleanse the uterus.
The editorial standards imposed by Condé Nast, publisher of titles including Vogue and Vanity Fair, resulted in articles publicising the unconventional views of Goop-friendly doctors and healers being pulled from the magazine at the last minute to be replaced with less controversial pieces, it is claimed.
The alleged reasons behind the publication’s failure were revealed by The New York Times Magazine in a lengthy interview with Paltrow, a US actress who divorced Chris Martin, the Coldplay singer, in 2016.
“They’re a company that’s really in transition and do things in a very old-school way,” Paltrow, 45, said of Condé Nast. She defended Goop’s policy of allowing new age healers to make unchallenged claims about the benefits of outlandish therapies. “We’re never making statements,” she said.
The NYT Magazine piece also claims that Condé Nast executives objected to Paltrow’s wish to use the magazine as a catalogue for Goop’s products, insisting on a more neutral editorial policy.
Doctors and scientists have criticised dozens of health claims on the Goop website, warning that junk science puts consumers’ welfare at risk. Wearable stickers that help your body heal, “sex dust” to sprinkle in your smoothie, and jade eggs that boost feminine energy when inserted into the vagina are among the Goop products that have been derided by medical experts. Doctors also condemned a Goop article suggesting that breast cancer could be caused by underwire bras.
The New York Times article highlights how Paltrow harnessed these controversies to boost sales. “I can monetise those eyeballs,” she is quoted as telling an audience of Harvard students. “It’s a cultural firestorm when it’s about a woman’s vagina.”
Before launching Goop, Paltrow was best known for films including Emma and Shakespeare in Love, for which she won a best actress Oscar in 1999.
She married Martin in 2003. They announced their “conscious uncoupling” in 2014, divorcing two years later.
The short-lived goop magazine was priced at $15. Both issues featured Paltrow on the front cover.
