Redwing's video on quack cures

No, you said fake. You said..
"The article by Nelson et al (2017) shows why curcumin causes spurious findings as in the 2013 article bubbatc cited."
spu·ri·ous - adjective - not being what it purports to be; false or fake.
How did I misinterpret your meaning in that sentence?

The problem is my interpretation of it? I didn't say my interpretation of it, other than what the link said which said there is "a solid basis for examining curcumin’s efficacy against human diseases" So by definition, not quackery.

Confirms my own biases? Which of these from the link are MY own biases? This is only about 1/2.

not sure what's funnier - the videos or the replies ...

Yes, satire and sarcasm can be funny when used properly, but sadly so many miss the joke, fail to smile and just move on with life.

sigh, sad really.

Strawman carrying buckets of water to wells underwater and over washed...but again...engaged...as am I...

You keep saying "I can't keep up" but then you launch another salvo. I am not criticizing you personally, I'm criticizing the way you analyze research. Your insistence on not reading studies that conflict with your beliefs demonstrates your confirmation bias.

BTW- I've probably read more studies about curcumin (without going to the very biased Life Extensions website) than you have. The difference is, I know how to evaluate evidence. If you would open your mind to it, you can learn too.

You've said it before on another thread. But there you go again - launching yet another salvo. I don't really mind - but I'm just pointing out your contradictions.

"why would I read studies that have well known limitations?" If you haven't read the study, how could you know that? This statement of yours actually defines confirmation bias.

I have troubled to keep answering you because you're not alone in your biases and in your inability to evaluate research. I hope this will motivate you to learn more.
