human health and "Battling Bad Science"-Ted talk so interesting, I forgot I was eating.

 

Something he says early on makes me oh, so happy:

"In science we don't care how many letters you have after your name.
In science we want to know what your reasons are for believing something."

Yeah, baby!


And, if you need motivation to watch/listen to this, I learned about it from Google+ (via Joanne Manaster via Ben Lillie) where it was hailed as including the greatest epidemiological joke ever.

I went straight to the joke (11:05) and was sucked in, so started from the beginning. SO glad I did.
