Yet, you’re so belligerent in your accusations that others are ignorant when challenged on a topic where you’re hopelessly in the wrong (like, say, dietary protein and carbohydrate producing serum glucose equally quickly) that it looks mightily as if you think it is somewhere in your background. Simply by virtue of “coming from a medical family”.
If, in fact, you’ve received minimal exposure to critical thinking and fundamental understanding of the Scientific Method plus
the role of research studies in the scientific archive, that’s a failure in your education…both formal and whatever you’ve picked up from those who raised you. It’s left you unable to think for yourself on, at least, subjects like this and, instead, to merely parrot what you’ve been told…or to hunt and peck on Google until you glom onto a study that appears to validate your opinion
If all the physicians in your family have made a practice of studiously avoiding any and every study and dismissing then for whatever reason, that’s not practising thinking medicine. Quite the reverse…it’s outright scientific denialism. Whilst they may imagine that they’re only insulating themselves from prescribing harmful drugs, they’re also missing the relevant evidence for the beneficial ones too…along with the insight that their own favourite treatments or procedures (based on the evidence of their own eyes) are at best useless.
The thing to remember…or be aware of if you didn’t know in the first place…not every scientific investigation, even in the biomedical field, is intended to inform decision making in clinical practice. That might appear to be the case if your only exposure to studies is via Science By Press Release and the stuff that drifts across your radar screen through media outlets, but it’s not. Rather, I suspect the majority are like the nitric oxide/periodontal disease study I was involved with back in the 1990s…to see if levels in saliva correlated with degree of disease process in another yet another inflammatory condition (there was nothing in the literature on it at the time so, yes…a novel concept with the early hypothesis testing suggesting it did) Adding another tiny jigsaw puzzle piece to Life’s Big Picture rather than writing a route map for future treatment.
