Commented in Children living near airport found to have raised lead levels in blood
No, we are not. This was one study, at one airport that found an association, not a cause.
Here is a [pdf from the CDC] (https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/ToxProfiles/tp121-c2.pdf) of what we know about JP-5, JP-8 (US military) and Jet A (Commercial). There may be some neurological effects from repeated high exposure, but there is no lead in jet fuels. Fuels are kerosene based with various additives, but lead isn't one of them.
A much larger issue is that any aircraft type at any airport in the last 60 years that had a fire, was put out by foam suppression. That foam leaked into groundwater and is toxic. Camp Lejune is so bad that the people on base are told not to drink tap water.
BTW, newscientist is a sensationalist site.

Commented in Paleontology ‘a hotbed of unethical practices rooted in colonialism’, say scientists
To me, the main value of the fossils is for study. Sure, they make sure museum trinkets for folks like me to gawk at. And sure, they make great finds for local governments to thump their chests about. But it's the knowledge the fossils can bring that is valuable, not the artifact itself. Put fossils in the hands of the researchers, not the money bags.

Commented in Too much table salt is killing us — and there's a cheap and tasty alternative
Their alternative is 2 parts sodium chloride to one part potassium chloride. This is roughly the balance of NaCl to KCl in the body (I think) and tastes the same but is healthier. The reason they did the study in China is that in the parts they ran the study, people don't eat processed food, they cook all their own food so they could control their salt intake completely.

Commented in Too much table salt is killing us — and there's a cheap and tasty alternative
There are no tasty alternatives and I don't see this as the end all study. It's yet another observational study. All such studies should be taken with the usual grain of salt.

Commented in How Cashless Payments Affect Our Consumption | The Horizons Tracker

Commented in IBM algorithm can tell who's going to get Alzheimer's by reading their writing
270 is a microscopic study and it was not double blinded either...At least it was not done on mice though. I don't see much point in knowing ahead of time,unless the patient chooses not to reproduce or has an exit strategy before the shit hits the brain...

Commented in Most statin problems caused by mysterious 'nocebo effect', study suggests
I wonder who funded this study?
Statins are the ultimate cash cow. I hope someday there will be a reckoning with these drugs like with thalidomide and ceo heads roll. And what you indicated is definitely true. I've added links for those who have their doubts and want to believe these drugs are innocent.

Commented in Most statin problems caused by mysterious 'nocebo effect', study suggests
The trouble is that the science around statins is tainted by the sheer amount of money involved. This study is arguing that statins don't have real side effects so people should take more? No bias in that result??
