001.c. 2024-05-28 "Biomedical Scientist Answers Pseudoscience Questions From Twitter"

The listed table of contents includes: "00:00 Pseudoscience Support, 00:11 What is pseudoscience?, 00:36 Flat Tummy Tea, 01:17 Chiropractors, 02:19 Anti-Science, 03:07 Autism and Vaccines, 04:30 GMOs, 05:25 Health Influencers, 06:31 Homeopathic Medicine, 08:26 5G, 10:00 Organic Foods, 11:20 Cleanses and Detoxes, 11:52 Lyme Disease, 13:22 Non-Fluoridated Toothpaste, 14:34 Gluten-Free, 15:56 Reliable Study, 17:47 Artificial Sweeteners, 18:53 Supplements, 20:13 Crystals, 21:00 Fasting."

002. In relation to naturopathy:

There's so much listed that is within the naturopathy cornucopia.  I'll mildly excerpt from two very important areas that naturopathy finds essential in the 001.c. video: homeopathy and supplements.

Homeopathy: "Homeopathy is a pseudoscience [...] nothing more than a sugar pill."  Of course, naturopathy's North American licensure exam NPLEX falsely terms homeopathy "clinical science" [e.g., at the State of California online]. 

Supplements: "Supplements [to be on the market] do not have to prove that they are helping or offering a benefit [...]."

Oh, and also, "Chiropractic is a full-on pseudoscience [...a D.C. designation does not inherently indicate the person is] a medical or scientific expert."
