http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0071529

Wearing a magnetic wrist strap or a copper bracelet did not appear to have any meaningful therapeutic effect, beyond that of a placebo, for alleviating symptoms and combating disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis.

Best slate comments are science comments

http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/slate_plus/2015/11/comments_on_science_stories_are_smart_meta_and_funny.html

What annoys me about this debate is that the people who hold this anti-GMO view also tend to be staunch environmentalists. So if you were to say, "What if we had a way of increasing farm productivity so we can use less land, reduce the water needs of crops so we can use less water, make crops disease and pestilence resistant so we can use less harmful pesticides, and increase the nutritional value of crops so we can feed the poor more cheaply." They would respond, "YES! What is this magical technology?!"

But when you ask them, "Are you in favor of the development of GMO's?" they would say, "No, I want to buy 'pure' food, not to enrich corporations!" The two thoughts are seemingly incompatible.
