Living in today’s digital age has one major downside. Instant access to information has made people more susceptible to believing inaccuracies and fallacies, which can be dangerous. 

This has led some folks to spout out their most horrible perspectives and sell them as the most unshakeable facts to live by. A lot of these you will find on the Bad Medical Takes social media page, which may make you wonder and even worry about where humanity is headed. 

Go ahead and scroll through, but be forewarned that a lot of these may infuriate you.

    Diabetes is not just one disease: there are several kinds, including Diabetes 1, which is the kind many children have without having had an unhealthy life-style. Also, insulin is not that expensive: the fact that there are people in the USA that need their kids to have a paper round or do a yard sale or whatever just tells me that money counts there, not human life.

    Well, actually, when PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) was employed as the main UV blocking agent in sunscreens starting in the 70s there were some serious dermatological issues in more than a few of the people who used these products. Cancer was not said to be one of those problems, but serious allergic reactions caused PABA to be banned from use in sunscreens.
