The post you are reporting:
Man-made climate change, passive smoking, five fruit or veg per day, recommended daily allowance of alcohol, the end to boom and bust, wind farms will save the planet, the dangers of salt, cholesterol, injecting your walls with silicon will cure rising damp, the BBC is unbiased in their reporting, the euro is a brilliant idea and Britain should join, the UK is still a big hitter on the world stage etc. etc. etc.
All of the above complete nonsense but accepted as fact.
All very difficult to disprove as vested interests and recieved wisdom mean that frank and open debate on these issues are met with rolling eyes.
It's just the way of the world and takes years for supposed truths to be demolished as such.
