About us

This web site is dedicated to exploring scientific ambiguities and common medical myths that enter our daily life through confusing and, at times, alarming statements, research findings, and questions, published by popular magazines, Internet websites, as well as those claimed and advertised on TV.

• Have you ever wondered if beer really makes you gain weight? Or if you can truly lose 10 pounds in 2 days?
• Or if hand-sanitizers are sufficiently good to bypass the conventional hand-washing?
• Have you ever doubted if the studies raising questions about the high prevalence of cancer in our society and its potential causes were true?
• Have you ever second-guessed the safety of teflon? Antiperspirants? Or perhaps, aspartame?
• Have you ever wondered if organic produce was truly better than the genetically engineered and pesticides-filled one?

If your answer is yes, then stick with us in our careful exploration of these various topics.

A word of caution: This website is not intended to make any absolute statements; after all, cause and effect relationship can be difficult to ascertain, as transgenerational studies must be conducted, and effects are often multifactorial, and our research methods can be erroneous and biased. "Medical myth" website is only intended to discuss and bring to the public attention some of the current research and use as its argument some of the most basic, accepted by all scientific community,human physiology and biochemistry and its application to the world of exogenous chemicals that gain access to our constantly war-fighting body.
