United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

You don't have to. They don't make claims of their own. They just report on research.
"They just report on research" requires me actually looking through multiple papers and ensuring that
(1) their interpretation of each piece of research is correct
(2) that the research that they have chosen isn't cherry-picked to fit a particular point of view.
There are going to be huge numbers of research papers on chemo therapy, some will have better research methodologies than others, some may talk about particular forms of cancer and different forms of chemotherapy. "Doing your own research" involves close-reading and expertise. That's why I prefer sources that I can trust to have that expertise. I don't know that about nutrition facts, which appears to be the passion project of an MD who is passionate about nutrition, but who doesn't appear to have a background in oncology.
