Probing the Bad Science behind the DUI Breath test
Nutritional Scientist/Blogger Adam Kosslof probes the boundaries of bad science. Exhibit #1: the DUI breath test. He quotes a senior level Los Angeles prosecutor who wrote about DUI breath test weaknesses such as gender bias in alcohol breath testing, non-specificity of alcohol in DUI breath testing, how diabetes can throw off a DUI breath test, how ketones produced from low-carb diets can cause false positives on alcohol breath testing; and how improper care, improper administration, and improper calibration can cause inaccurate readings. “When a true genius appears in this world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.” – Jonathan Swift
