I understand that in my blogs I get to share things that are of interest to me and hopefully to others as well. We have been told for years that the science "proved" that we were experiencing global warming. Now it is clear that they have reversed themselves!
Whoops! No Global Warming for the Last 15 Years
Here’s a little data crunching from one of the great cathedrals of global warming alarmism, the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit – which was also the source of the “Climategate” emails that revealed much of the global warming movement was based on deliberate fraud. And now we are in for an Ice Age! How's that for a complete reversal!

The takeaway from this whole mess for me is to remind me to be cautious about "scientific studies." Unfortunately they are often tainted and not true. So see who is doing the study. Who paid for it? Did they really ask the right questions? Did they form the right conclusions? There is a lot of research that is simply a sham!
Lots of Research Is Faulty!
When it comes to drugs, it appears many studies are faulty. Below is a report by one doctor who is disgusted by the "scientific evidence" behind a drug he had been recommending which was supposed to halt the flu.
Life Extension is one company where I feel confident of their research. For example, one of their articles shows how faulty the "Iowa Women’s Health Study" was. This was a 25-year research project which examined vitamins and possible reduction of disease, and the "researchers" decided vitamins did not help maintain health. Well, the study was fundamentally flawed and lacked integrity. Life Extension points this out in detail. I recommend that you read Life Extension's rebuttle to this shabby "science" here. It could save your life.
Here's a website concerning the lack of research behind traditional medicines.
What I Look for When I Review Studies
- Studies with conclusions which are compatible with Scripture.
- Studies that have asked the right questions.
- Multiple studies which confirm similar conclusions.
- Conclusions which make sense and bear witness in my heart.
- When I act on the study, do I experience a sense of well-being?
- People whom I respect as authorities in the area of the study confirm that they feel it is a valid study with valid results.
- I ask, "Who helped fund the study? Do they have a vested interest in the conclusions?"
Be wise and cautious in what you embrace.
