In Chapter 5 of unSpun, Jackson and Jamieson have provided us with several accounts where a lack of “active open mindedness” created victims of trickery that ended in mounting fines, months in jail, declining health and also death. We have to be aware that facts matter and they save lives. Facts matter. Facts save lives. Now all we have to do is make a shirt that says, “Got Facts?”. (Haha!) It's easy for us, in an age of heightened technology, to quickly scan for facts. Consider our surgeon Daniel Bullock who could have clearly been aware of his scammer’s seven accounts of false tax returns if he had typed his name into Google. A bit of conventional awareness would have saved Bullock a ton of trouble, to say the least.
A lack of facts creates the dilemma of misinformation. Such “half truths” have formed road blocks in preventing the amount of females that have fallen victim to heart disease, the number one death cause of females. Due to the popularity of breast cancer prevention and propaganda, also known as “Pinkwashing” many women believe it is the number one cause of death and forgo the chance they may contract heart disease, which is truthfully what they should be watching out for. Misinformation can cause death. Facts save lives.
On the topic if breast cancer, did you know that the number one prevention strategy of preventing all cancers is Sunlight and vitamin D? Ironically, there is a vitamin D deficiency that is spreading rapidly around the U.S. because they are misinformed. Organizations such as the American Cancer Society (ACS) list the four major risk factors on their prevention strategies as: weight, alcohol use, smoking, and exercise. Ironically enough the most powerful anti-cancer nutrient that reduces risk of breast cancer by 77 %, Vitamin D, is not found on the list.
Fact: The lack of facts and swelling amounts of misinformation are everywhere in our world AND the consequences of falling for this deception will not be evoked because we simply “fall for it”. Ex. Daniel Bullock
This chapter caught my attention by prompting us to go to the trouble of finding facts in order to ultimately save ourselves the trouble.
