You seem to impugn a whole lot of people who have done some serious
research, yet you fail to mention how the evidence they have produced
is at all questionable.
People get research grants because their work is thorough and
correct, not because it supports any personal theory. If anything,
the Big Money would be behind the folks trying to pooh-pooh the
evidence, because that would help ensure that they can continue to do
business without being held responsible for their effect on others.
Also, "proof" is a slippery word. You do know that any connection
between smoking tobacco and lung cancer, heart disease, and all the
other bad things currently attributed to smoking has never been
"proven", right? You do know that atomic theory has never been
"proven" either, despite the indisputable evidence of nuclear bombs?
