Would You Like a Few Lies With That Truth?

 

“Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.” Most of you will recognize this as a line from Mary Poppins, the movie about that famous British nanny. But, have you ever considered that there is a disturbing amount of truth in that phrase? If one mixes a little truth with the lies, they are a lot easier to swallow. Not sure if the “truth” is the medicine or the sugar!

Regardless, scientific and medical claims that are presented to the public often contain a bit of truth mixed with a bit of–well–not truth. This is one of the things that AITSE is trying to ferret out. How can you know what is true and what is not, what is healthy and what is not, what is safe and what is not, even what is worth spending your hard-earned dollars on and what is not?

Obviously, the AITSE scientific consortium are not the sole bearers of all truth and wisdom, but you can be assured that this team of scientists, physicians, and engineers are committed to integrity in science and will do all in their power to ensure that they let you know which is the sugar and which is the medicine.
