Welcome to the Burling Instincts Podcast.

I'm Dr. Stewart Fish Fine, community-based practicing obstetrician and long-time advocate for birth choices.

And I'm Bliss Young, a licensed midwife.

Join us in our conversational style podcast where we talk about everything birth.

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, but we're happy that you're here, so here we go.

This is a soul fire production.

Well, the actual truth is here I go.

Bliss is off today, and this is a supplemental episode of the Burthing Instincts podcast.

It's me, Dr. Stuart Fishpine.

And I wanted to come on today, even though Bliss is not available,

because I've got a whole bunch of things that I think are timely

and very important to talk about current science

and research and information that's out there

that I wanted to give my take to, because a lot of you listen to me,

I'm grateful for the trust that you put into me.

So I wanted to go through some things because the term misinformation is out there all the time,

and it's being used by people to belittle people

who differ from them and and while I disagree with a lot of the stuff that's out there,

it's not for me to use the term misinformation because it's become a pejorative. People that do

that, people that come up with sensational titles to their articles.

Remember what I've always said is that the skepticism that I have is not something that should

concern you.
