1. About twelve years ago I was studying biomechanics, learning from a professor who was one of the leading researchers in the world when it came to understanding the biomechanics of the spine. Ten years later I saw him walking down the street looking like a walking advertisement for the letter C. Yep, the man with probably the most knowledge of the spine of anybody on the planet had just about the worst spine degeneration I’ve ever seen. Granted, there may have been genetic factors involved, but I dare say the office working life would have had a lot to do with why he crumpled down so quickly and severely. Knowledge doesn’t fix everything. And very often, when it comes to matters of physical health, awareness trumps knowledge.

2. Many people assume that if something is supported by science then it is clearly true. The reality is that only about 17% of scientific research that is published is actually good quality science. The rest is either intentionally misleading for the sake of profiting the funding body, or it is simply poorly conducted methodically.
