That's why the articles are peer reviewed and that's why they're constantly rehashing the same thing over and over and over again. That's why the EPA, the National Academy of Sciences, and most recently, the Surgeon General issued separate studies on the subject. It's not a hypothesis that one group of physicians came up with and was never tested again.

I'd be more than happy to play "who has more doctors in the family that we can bullshit with at cocktail parties" with you, and I'm pretty sure that I'd win. But I've also gone to a School Public Health and actually done healthcare research, and a vast majority of what I do every day involves healthcare research, and your disdain for epidemeology and evidence based, outcomes oriented medicine show an obvious bias against any rigorous study which has results that you do not agree with.

I could give a shit about what you do with your kids. My doctor father used to get ready every weekend for 100 mile road trips by making a 16 ounce gin and tonic for the road. The single car seat was reserved for the infant, and the other three kids at various weights under fifty pounds were strapped in to whatever lap belts were around. We all lived. Doesn't mean it was safe then or now.

Sebby's kid had a cold. Sebby applied leaches, and now em is better. So don't come around here waving your "modern medicine" stuff and think you can impress him.
