Pollan states that scientists “need individual variables to isolate,” and that this is the way science is conducted (Pollan 7). Pollan did not mention the fact that science by common definition deals with the pursuit of knowledge, and stills allows himself to believe that science ignores “complex interactions and contexts” (Pollan 7). Pollan neglects the fact that there are essential elements in science which concerns observation, hypothesis, prediction and experiments. Thus, logically, scientist cannot neglect even the smallest detail when testing. Pollan continues to contradict himself when he states that scientists discovered that beta carotene ingested as a supplement “actually increases the risk of certain cancers” (Pollan 8). In other words, scientist acting to their job discretion: expanding human
