Interesting article that says it like it is in terms of consumer perception and gullibility. The bottom line is that dialog doesnt occur often enough and when it does it is between those that have been subjected to information that is questionable, at best, and those that are pushing the questionable forward as truth. Getting people to take the next step toward educating themselves to finding out the facts from an opposite viewpoint seems the key to changing this trend. But how do you get them to engage in researching opinions that dont seem as popular and accepted as those that they are bombarded by daily? Irrational and faddish food fears now seem to be part of the culture, worsened by the immense flow of information over the internet, most of which is unvetted. This results in some people avoiding perfectly harmless ingredients based on unfounded fearmongering. As we have seen, this can also lead to pressure being placed on food manufacturers to eliminate the harmless ingredients (and their benefits) just to avoid the effects of a fearmongering campaign. sciencebasedmedicine.org/food-fears/
