The link provided doesn't mention that. They did in another post ask for people to "Don't necessarily upvote it -- just "vouch" for it if you think it's on-topic." By the way the r…

I find the fact that media keeps talking about cancer as one single disease unhelpful at best. Look at what the title of the research article is: "Antioxidants stimulate BACH1-depe…

Research on psychotherapeutic use of hallucinogens is done on this premise. At this point I believe it would be unethical to perform such a study. It would risk exposing subjects t…
