If I’ve learned anything from the last few days of the Jamil-Kardashian celebrity brouhaha, it’s that sometimes one of the most effective ways to battle celebrity pseudoscience is with other celebrities. Jamil’s campaign is already having ripple effects. Just look at the story of Iman Hariri-kia, a brave young journalist who was flooded with gratitude on social media last month whena heart-wrenching personal account of her own abuse of detox tea laxatives as a teenager with an eating disorder.
As scientists, we are taught to be steady and empirical at all times — for good reason. My point is not that all that evidence we’ve spent our careers generating is for naught. It’s just that, well, we’re often no match for a well-timed, brilliantly targeted celebrity takedown. But that takedown wouldn’t be possible without the factual evidence we’ve devoted our lives to collecting. It may be a strange alliance, but it’s working.S.

THINK Who's the crap is 'Jameela Jamil?'
THINK Jameela is the body positive hero that we need.
THINK Oh no, they're back - the Fauxlebrities!
THINK Does kim think she is hot ? Lol
THINK ENOUGH OF THESE FAKES!!
THINK To quote PT Barnum there is a sucker born every minute. What better way to promote snake oil than to have beautiful women peddle it. Or to have celebrities peddle it. Stricter FDA oversight, but that would cut into profits so can't have that.
THINK I'd sooner watch a documentary about animals, which is way more enlightening, than an episode of this synthetic family.
THINK
THINK Kendal really has become the beauty of the K clan! Kim is so artificial now she looks much older then she is
THINK Hey
THINK
THINK Only to have an important name in the publicity is enough to make a disaster very danger.
THINK What a waste of time I could never regain if I sat through even a minute of watching this unstable family.😂
THINK I have never watched an episode of The Kardashian’s...

THINK Ya know what else is a goddamn travesty? That Kylie Jenner is a billionaire for being uneducated and doing absolutely jack sh*t that’s meaningful or constructive to society
THINK So glad this headline is gibberish to me
THINK Imagine buying something because you watched an ad with a Kardashian. These people should be shunned from society.
THINK The fact that anybody cares about them, or what they have going on is mind blowing. I think that's the real headline..
THINK RealNews! No.
