Talk:Swedish bitters

I removed the following piece. It may be true but it has a clear and quite controversial point of view. If anyone wants to put any of it back I think they should site sources. --Simon Speed 21:55, 25 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Most "scientific evidence" is sponsored by Pharmaceutical giants who promptly cancel funding for any study not resulting in evidence that can be used for marketing purposes. Because they cannot patent Swedish Bitters, there was no reason for these companies to pay for a study "proving" what has been known for centuries: that bitter foods are an important part of our diet. That one of humans only four specific taste buds evolved explicitly to sense bitters is scientific enough to indicate that bitters are an important part of our diet. That most of us avoid them and suffer from disease may not be a coincidence.

Fair use rationale for Image:Swedishbitters00.jpg
Image:Swedishbitters00.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

esoteric views
This sentence 'These claims are presented with little in the way of scientific evidence to support them, though empirical evidence provides for a very large database of positive results.[1][better source needed]' should be cut after 'evidence to support them'. The remainder is esoteric blahblah, if there was actual empiric data on positive results, it would be scientific evidence. All there is is the placebo effect (prove me wrong, peer reviewed studies please). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.115.229.23 (talk) 23:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
