Unbiased Science

Great content! I look forward to each episode

As a scientist myself, they are not actually unbiased. They just peddle whatever narrative the US pharma companies and health agencies put out. Science is about discovery and being open to different opinions and I’ve seen them state many times on this podcast and their Instagram that the way other parts of the worlds and culture approach health is outright wrong because it’s not considered safe by the US agencies.

The title in itself is funny. These two are clearly far from unbiased and they proudly share their Pharma-funded biases across their episodes and social media. Lots of boring and predictable takes. Not interesting.

Though I appreciate the idea behind this podcast, as a fellow member of the research community, I have to call these women out for the biases they hold. The message seems clear: this podcast favors synthetic/pharmaceutical products, downplays the risks of pesticides and other toxins that have been linked to such issues as cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders, and also presents its information as saviorism towards the oppressed, as if all oppressed persons want their advice. If actually unbiased; this podcast would also acknowledge the various studies on glyphosate increasing cancer likelihood - ESPECIALLY childhood cancers, would not turn a blind eye to iatrogenic harm or Pharma’s questionable legal history (you’re not fooling some of us by deflecting to supplement sales and avoiding the elephant in the room) and would give fair credit to research-based naturopathic medicine for both mental and physical health. There is room for integration of natural and western medicines in this world, but not if “science influencers” such as the women on this podcast continue to resist the power of the former! In the end, this podcast feels like an attempt to keep the average leftist upper middle class white person in a comfortable echo chamber where their worldview is never challenged, and they can maintain their self-image as morally and intellectually superior. As stated by other reviewers, your biases are very clear to some of your peers despite your inability to own them.
