Taking little idea from ur blog I read up about HDL, LDL, trans-fat and it makes some sense to me now. :)KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18003171771024291876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-35384118865606417442009-02-21T21:45:00.000+05:302009-02-21T21:45:00.000+05:30By the way, Prerna, since you hold CSE's scientifi...By the way, Prerna, since you hold CSE's scientific research in such high esteem that you consider me unqualified to comment on it, perhaps you will inform us all about Sunita Narain's academic qualifications. Does she have a science degree? Does she have ANY degree? As far as I know, she joined CSE as a junior administrator straight out of school. I don't want to go further about the reasons for her ascent, I'll leave that to more gossipy blogs.Girish Shahanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877402074547726173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-34751282433899581102009-02-21T15:10:00.000+05:302009-02-21T15:10:00.000+05:30That's a great logical argument right there, Prern...That's a great logical argument right there, Prerna, Socrates himself would've been awestruck.

If you still don't know which oil to use you have understood nothing of the study. This is science not Milton and Chaucer that you can play around with. Bashing well known personalities like Sunita Narain will take you nowhere.

In fact she has a horrible record of sensationalizing things that do not stand subsequent scientific scrutiny. Her ealier work involving areial spraying of Endosulfan in Kerala is best produced scientific fraud so far in India. I have read sometime ago, when a scientific report is relased to popular press without peer review, suspect its merits. True!
