If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Misinformation is always worse in the long run.
If people find out you knowingly lied about one thing, they'll assume you lied about other things that are more important, regardless of evidence.
Climate change being an excellent example of this where it wasn't so much lies as bad guesses and so many people dismissed it despite the growing evidence.
People still eat their carrots thinking it improves their vision.
I mostly agree with you, but but I haven't seen evidence either way saying it doesn't have this effect.
Just because something hasn't been proven one way or the other doesn't mean you should just believe either of them on a whim.
It's totally okay to hold beliefs tenuously and then not feel attached to them when they're proven wrong.
It happened to me here in this thread. I stated cows milk leeched calcium, but it doesn't, I was misinformed. There's no shame in admitting I was wrong, but it reminds me to be more cautious about assertions of fact in the future.
I don't want to be wrong any longer than I need to be.
