A post about another blog better than mine.

A nice little blog entry via the slate Human Nature section. The dangers of faith are fairly highlighted, and the point of science in regards to such things as acupuncture are treated in kind.

Quick Little Post

So this is a simple little article done by the BBC about the detox myth that was passed onto me by a friend of mine. They spend a good deal of time talking about high visibility companies, but this applies triple to mom and pop "shops" that don't have to pass FDA regulation in the United States. This falls into the category of potentially or extremely harmful psuedoscience.

Actually, just go there anyway. It is a read that should make you cry like a vegan in a meat packing plant.
