I recall a doctor who claimed that cancer is a fungus. And several who asserted publicly that smoking is not a big deal health thing. Linus Pauling claimed that vitamin C cures cancer.
Being a doctor does not mean that you're brilliant, it just means that you couldn't get a job with your B.S. in biology, so you had to stay in school or else you'd have to start paying off your student loans flipping hash browns at waffle house. 6 years later, voila, your a prestigious smart guy that naive people trust with their lives. Broccoli. Cool. My response is: eggs.
LIES. Broccoli isn't a vegetable. It's a flower.
