Document Summary
If it"s not science, what is it? (matter) As individuals we tend to come up with many concepts that we like to believe are part of science. The truth is, we think that all these concepts and procedures that we use today were previously experimented by professional scientists when in reality, they all are just false statements. Let"s take the detox system" as an example, social media has made detox seem so important, healthy, and a part of our daily lives that we think it is the best system for our body. Detox has no scientific evidence, it is better understood through our previous rituals and cultures; as goldacre mentioned as medicalized fantasy (goldacre, 2010, p. 12). Concepts such as, detox, were used before the scientific period even came through when there were no methods or experiments to scientifically prove such concepts.
