Wow, Science has stooped to a new low. I could picture this in Pravda way more easily.

So Copernicus was overconfident in his anti-consensus view?

This is bad thinking. Glyphosate has seen billions of USD in settlements and is tied to decreased liver function.

"Most every governing body says..." what is this poor appeal to authority?

Like the other commenter says, even if it is not directly effecting on humans, if it affects our gut flora then it ends up affecting. The reductionist approach does not work much in biology, one has to consider the whole system.

It's the cheap vegetable oils. Up to the 80s even McDonalds would use beef fat for their fries. Now? Let's call it just a correlation between that and cancer. I know it's causal but we'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

No conspiracy, most people will be easily pressured when their livelihoods/job/grant is on the line. Most countries politicians want to be favorable to China, the experts sadly just toe the line.

Few scientist are the learned aristocrats of before who did not depend on grant money to live comfortable lives.

Not to mention the color spectrum is much more akin to natural light. I've never liked LEDS even high-CRI ones and will continue to buy incandescents. Also they work pretty decent as heating in the winter.

A whole sort of subtle health effects are related to light.
