"Fraudsters succeed by simply providing evidence for things we already suspect" is a description of the reviewers. A filter that pays for confirmation passes honest confirmation on the same terms, and I can't tell the two apart from the published page.

To point 11: the peanut butter thing is "big if true" but almost certainly not true; y'all can eat peanut butter without fear

(from my comment there: I don't think it's fair to say that peanut-related anaphylaxis is uniquely American; e.g. here it looks like the US is on the low end of countries surveyed (p.20): https://spiral.imperial.ac.uk/server/api/core/bitstreams/7c3d3190-87c2-464d-87ca-c2f3312f6c9e/content (Pouessel G, Turner PJ, Worm M, et al. Food-induced fatal anaphylaxis: from epidemiological data to general prevention strategies. Clin Exp Allergy. 2018;48(12):1584–1593. doi:10.1111/cea.13287)

And I'm not sure also that peanut allergies took off in 1980; a couple studies I can find show either:

- a rise from 0.4% in 1997 to 1.4% in 2008: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20462634/ (Sicherer SH, Muñoz-Furlong A, Godbold JH, Sampson HA. US prevalence of self-reported peanut, tree nut, and sesame allergy: 11-year follow-up. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010;125(6):1322–1326. doi:10.1016/j.jaci.2010.03.029.)

- no change from 1998-94 to 2005-06: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4939113/ (McGowan EC, et al. Changes in food-specific IgE over time in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract. 2016;4(4):713–720.)

To point 12: Jo's research also demonstrated the scent/shock aversion lasted in the offspring of the conditioned parents. The offspring weren't trained to avoid the odor either - it's a pretty wild finding no one else has studied. Jo is a cool kid.

Thank you for sharing these links!
