do you mean because I said carrots are not actually good for your eyes?

Yes, exactly because you said this, which is, according to the evidence, the opposite of the truth.

Look at what people believe. Look at the utter CRAP people think is truth about "science". I'm asking that you be careful, because people will believe you. If not you, they will believe others like you.

Of course teaching people NOT to do that is our essential task; to be discerning, and think critically, independent investigation. Included in that though, is the need to be careful of what we state as factual.

If you think something might be true, say it as such. Making statements as if they are facts are exactly the types of harms that are leading us into oblivion. I suggest we be very careful not to perpetuate that behavior.
