Scientists buzz Simon Cowell for promoting pseudoscience

Sense About Science publishes its annual review of

misleading claims of celebrities, including vitamins intravenously Cowell

Where there's a celebrity, there is often a fad diet, miracle bracelets of glass or a misunderstanding of science. In 2011, Simon Cowell thinks it is better to get your vitamins delivered intravenously, on American television, Bill O'Reilly, have the tides of the Earth was a mystery, and Gwyneth Paltrow defends an expensive drug treatment.

These errors are known, and many others, stand out in the sixth annual report published by the sense of charity About Science (SAS). "We are seeing changes - people are in contact with us, medical charities celebrities are more and work with us to follow the advice dangerous, and now we have over 5,000 scientists and hundreds of organizations have signed to provide the help, "said Tracey Brown, CEO of SAS.

"So there's really no excuse for misleading statements promulgation of celebrities. Despite giving us a reason to talk about the science of sound on topics such as oceans and diets Unfortunately, our publications do not go that far, so fast as a comment on the actress list ".

Simon Cowell believes he can look and feel young with a cocktail of intravenous vitamin C, B12 and magnesium: ".. It feels very warm ... I feel all vitamins as you go through is very relaxing "

Ursula Arens

, nutritionist at the British Dietetic Association, Cowell said the treatment was unlikely to provide many benefits and that unless a person has a deficiency of vitamins, food intake must provide all vitamins they need. "Absorption of vitamins is very effective - and more people who are very sick or intestinal problems specific - almost all of what you eat is absorbed by the body," he said. "If you're worried about not getting enough vitamins from food, and can not change your diet, supplements are an easy way to provide peace of mind."

Perhaps more surprisingly, Cowell was the hatred of the U.S. reality TV star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi from the beach. She left a fear of sharks and because "the water of all whales. Ocean so salty. "

Simon Boxall, an oceanographer at the University of Southampton, said it would take a sperm to make the salty sea.

"Salt comes from the sea millions of years of water flowing over rocks and minerals," he said. "It dissolves slowly, leading to the" dirty "nature of the sea - not just salt, but all materials on the planet, including salt water into gold is really our oceans free of many human pathogens -. Why not give another chance at the beach and back in the water? "

• American television presenter and political commentator Bill O'Reilly is confusing the world's oceans. "In my view - and, at low tide, low tide never a lack of communication can not explain that you can not explain why the tide in ..."
• Dr Chris Lintott
• , astrophysicist and co-presenter of The Sky at Night, O'Reilly accepted the challenge. "It's just the gravity of the moon on the earth causes the tides," he said. "Solid surface of the earth is stretched by the pull of the moon, but the oceans are free to move so more spectacular, the production of two familiar tides per day. Nothing too complicated about it, even if they take the theories of Isaac Newton for the clear explanation. "
• Professor Sean Kehoe
, a gynecologic oncologist at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, was the U.S. Congressman Michelle Bachman said to reporters earlier this year that the vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV ), used to protect girls against cervical cancer was related to mental retardation.

"There is no evidence that the vaccine against HPV causes mental retardation or that there are dangerous consequences," said Dr. Kehoe. "The evidence that cervical cancer kills, however, is indisputable. The vaccination program in the UK is expected to save 400 lives a year young in the UK."

As with the celebrities in the past, many celebrities came out in 2011, while fans of detoxification as a way to "cleanse" the body of harmful things. Gwyneth Paltrow, GOOP wrote in his blog: "I have goop on the program of Dr. Alejandro Junger cleaning before she gave me spectacular results, but it's really the thing, if you need one good rehab - they want a little mental clarity and drop a few pounds ... That's an incredible pleasure liver and 2011 "

Dr. Christian Jessen
, GP and TV presenter said that if anyone tried to start the new year with good intentions to a healthy lifestyle, a detoxification plan is not the answer. "The body has its own detoxification system already in fantastic shape your liver and kidneys. Much better to drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and let your body do what it does better ".
