You should check out the history of what happened with peptic ulcers. I think there was even a documentary on it or maybe it was just something 20/20 or some news show like that years ago...

Couple guys came up with data etc that is was typically caused by bacterium as opposed to eating spice foods, stress etc (early 80s I think it was). Which of course flew in the face of the accepted norm and the medical/scientific community ridiculed them for it. And of course the pharmaceutical companies didn't exactly like that idea either since they made tons of cash with their antacids etc... But it was eventually proven that they were right years later... Government launched a campaign to inform doctors etc (late 90s think).. What happened after that??? Acid reflux was "invented" so the companies could rebrand their products and keep selling them. Oh.. And the guys won the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 2005 for that work.

Point being... You can't trust the medical/scientific community a lot of the time as they take the current science as absolute fact when in reality, we know so little that everything should be looked at as potentially being invalid.
