I think just like any other studies and sciences it is subjected to quackery, myths and misconceptions. Some quack probably thought he knew what he was talking about, so claimed himself/herself to be an expert on the subjects and then called himself/herself a master, but really have no clues on what he is talking about. I'll give you an example, but it's not related to ARMA. Many, many years ago doctors said by eating right and doing a lot of exercise, it should prevent high cholesterol and diabetes. But many doctors will tell you that the diseases is caused by genetics not by eating too much. People who have the genes for high cholesterol have to take pills because no matter how much exercise they do and watch what they are eating, they are going to die eventually, no way around it. The same thing with diabetes. People who have the gene for it will eventually have to get insulin shots. The truth is fat and thin people have an equal chance of inheriting the bad genes. Our perception of what looks healthy and not has really been skewed by the media. You can be chubby and heavy and still be healthy (look at professional football players), but it may make you easily tired when doing a lot of vigorous exercise. You can also be thin and be really sick, or not. You can't really determine if someone is healthy or not base on how heavy and how thin people are, unless of course you obese. Obesity is not just heavy, but people who have way too much body fat, which is really too much and unhealthy. Sorry for getting a bit of topic, but by looking at any studies and sciences, or whatever subjects there are, there will always be some quacks, who like fame and fortunes, self-proclaim themselves to be an expert in order to gain a group of followers. This sort of things just isn't happened with regular people, but people with P.h.d. also say things that are down right wrong. Just because someone has a P.h.d. or read a lot doesn't make them correct. It's people who love to hear themselves talk! [chuckle]
