Every American 'discovery' is one way for 10 years and the opposite way for 10 years and again the same ?

Question

Have you observed the trend? For eg., they say coffee is good, then coffee is bad and again it is good. The research findings keep changing every 10 years. What is the reason ? Can it be complimented as 'ever continuing research' or is it with some Marketing motive? Take other campaigns on chocolates, diet, apple= any thing.

Answer 1

I think it is strtching a fact one way to the limit and then to the other limit. It is strtching things a bit far. Facts are facts. But when distorted? Even then some say they are facts. A sense of proportion is needed in everything we say and do. The guy who does things with his hands will never be swayed by this kind of talk. In politics and religion the distortions in an extreme from, rule. In science we have figures. My motto in engineering (I am an engineer) is to never use adjectives but give the figures. Mr.X is 162 cm tall. Miss.Y is 174 cm tall and Ms.Z is 150 cm tall; let others draw conclusions. But that means the public needs to be educated.

Answer 2

True Fact.. But it is a big difference between discovery and invention... I think their invention sounds good....
