I always find it interesting when someone says "you can't trust the science" as if there is some legitimate alternative in medicine.
The other obvious red flag is nobody who actually studies this stuff ever uses the term "science". It's just a dumbed down word used for the public. What they are really talking about is empirical evidence, literature reviews, or even effect sizes.
The knowledge base is always expanding as anyone who's taken a research methods intro course should understand. Anyone who states "well we thought this last year and don't think this now" clearly doesn't understand that this is the exact point of "science". The knowledge body is not static.
