Did I understand your position well? Do you act like that in your daily life? Do you not know how to use google to find out about facts you consider dubious? Do people have to hold your hand every time they tell you something that you didn't know before?
@zucchinigreen6 жыл бұрын
Etienne Ponnau Hey. In the Wikipedia article you listed, right next to the section where they say karela has an abortive properties are the words "unreliable source". When you go to the actual Sloan-Kettering integrative medicine site, they themselves have a multi-paragraph disclaimer saying the claims made in the post you are about to read are not proven by any regulatory body or is supported by the center, do you want to proceed. The post about abortive properties is anecdotal. Ergo, at every point, your source is unreliable. I don't need to Google anything. It's spurious pseudo-science. Do I need to handhold you through how critical thinking and deductive reasoning works? Or perhaps you should go back to English 101. Thanks for sharing though. I do appreciate it.
