It's not a conspiracy, what tend to happen is you post a bunch of articles and then the parent starts picking at 1 point in 1 article as if that invalidates all of them and you get drawn into this long tiresome discussion with what is nothing but a crackpot using loads of anecdotes or worse, blog posts, against large scientific studies. And quite often it's nonsense any way, they just misunderstand it.
