    A doctor saying something is good for you, that is good evidence that it’s good for you. If it wasn’t a doctor wouldn’t say it. They’re not even allowed to lie, it’s part of the hypocritic oath.

      No it’s not. Evidence is objective, you’re describing subjective opinions. They’re allowed to lie, they aren’t allowed medically to do harm.

        They aren’t allowed to lie ever, not even a little white lie. You’re probably thinking of dentists.
