Six Trendy New Health Foods that are Full of Crap [View all]

From Cracked.com

I notice that Cracked.com is sometimes a real lightning rod in GD. If you cite one of their articles in regard to, say, international refugees or illegal whaling, they're hailed as Gospel Truth. But if you link to one that points out the absurdity of anti-vax thinking or bullshit pseudoscience, it's dismissed as "just a comedy site."

Regardless, their trademark snarky tone comes through magically in this current piece. Worth reading simply for the subject headers alone.
