You're not going to like me for saying this, but I am going to say it anyway

193. It's kind of like a lot of "industry" "scientists" saying that high fructose corn syrup is ok...

... and not really digested any differently than natural sugar like cane sugar.

Other scientists have noted that regular sugar has the body start to know when it has had enough, but both high fructose corn syrup and even many diet sugar substitutes don't tell the body when it is satisfied, and the person winds up eating more calories in both the food that contains this stuff and other foods.

I think as long as there are debates, and there are industry "interests" in terms of money dependencies on certain technologies, it always helps having those like RFK to question their findings and research. There are many other areas that RFK has alerted us to wrongdoing that have been invaluable.

Nader my have not emphasized enough a negotiating stance on running for third parties of one of the two major parties or both enacting instant runoff voting, so we demonize him for being a spoiler, but we still have so much to thank him for in other areas.

I think it is ok to challenge RFK and say he might be wrong in certain instances, or there still is a question on whether his findings have validity, but calling him an asshat is what takes away the motivation for people like him to question the corporate mantras out there for so much of our lives, which we NEED so much more of now! I think we owe much of the oversight the coal industry has (though still doesn't have enough of) to RFK Jr. for his work, and I'll always be thankful for that.
