Precisely: does anyone really think that, 50 years later,
we would not be using Dr. Wilhelm Reich's "Orgone
Energy Motor" if it really worked? Nor would Dr.
Reich's thrifty German wife have permitted him to let
it lie dormant all these years. Yet, a lot of health
food insanity does, remarkably, get proven to be
true. For example, in the 60s, we were laughed at for
eating macrobiotic food and thinking it would help
prevent cancer. Then, in the 80s, impeccable
statistical research showed that those who eat
large quantities of cooked root vegetables, usually
high in beta carotene, had remarkable resistance
to certain kinds of cancer, even if they smoked.
Scientists jumped to the conclusion that beta-
carotene was the miracle chemical. By the 90s,
we definitively knew that taking beta-carotene
tablets could not help you and might even
harm you. We remain with the knowledge that
eating lots of cooked carrots offers you a high
statistical chance of avoiding certain cancers.
