Extreme “groupthink”

I ran into this interesting NYTimes article…. definitely worth reading:Diet and Fat: A Severe Case of Mistaken Consensus. I always thought the ‘low fat’ American fad was stupid – and now, scientific data seems to build up to confirm it.

But what’s really impressive, is the mechanism that lead to this situation… spooky when you think that one will most certainly need a doctor sometime in the future. We just can only hope that the ‘expert treatment’ we receive isn’t just a fad and a cascade of wrong opinions…

    Nontheless, I still have to find a study to prove my point… :)
