Scientific American says 5G is dangerous, vegetables are junk food

EXCERPT: It's official. Scientific American will publish absolutely anything. This is not hyperbole or exaggeration. In August, SciAm published an article claiming that our food supply was "poison," ... and chronic diseases such as obesity and cancer are due to GMOs and glyphosate. It was the sort of insanity that you might expect to read on a site with little to no editorial control (like the Huffington Post) or on a conspiracy website (like InfoWars). Due to a severe backlash, SciAm was forced to publish a corrected article, which served as a marginal improvement over the original. Basically, it was "upgraded" from raging dumpster fire to smoldering trash can. One would have thought that the editors at SciAm would have learned their lesson. They did not.

[...] we have no reason to believe that 5G is unsafe. So, SciAm published an article saying the exact opposite [...] It should be noted that the author, Joel Moskowitz, believes Wi-Fi is toxic, which is particularly ironic since he works at a university that deploys Wi-Fi everywhere on campus. He is also a conspiracy theorist who believes the State of California is withholding evidence that cell phones cause cancer. Let's face it. If Dr. Moskowitz was alive in the 1600s, he'd be burning witches.

In the SciAm article, Dr. Moskowitz cites research to support his viewpoint ... but all of it can be refuted by other research. The truth is that, as the aforementioned CNET article said, most of the research in this area is really shoddy. Then, ideologically driven activists like Joel Moskowitz cherry-pick the literature that supports them and ignore the rest. (MORE - details)
