"Well, people are still on about cholesterol too. My latest take on it is that it's not so much about the levels, or good or bad cholesterol, but the ratio between LDL and HDL."

Single data point here, but my endo had been on my back about taking statins due to high LDL, until I found out about the link between cafestol / kahweol and cholesterol homeostatic balance. So I started filtering my espresso through a paper filter and my levels are almost back to normal. My blood pressure too.

The vast majority of people don't have the drive and/or the means to actually go out and investigate places where there are alleged strange phenomenas (eg UFO flaps) occurring, or where strange land formations appear on google earth/maps (eg Antarctica). Until more people do and document what is there or not there, we will only have what looks like a crap artist production and hearsay.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to go on an expedition in the Antarctic to investigate those mountains that kinda sorta look like pyramids and bring back proof that they are just mountains (or actual pyramids!). But I'm not rich, and I don't have easy access to the ship and aircraft (and people to sail/fly those for me) that I would undoubtedly need.
