Here's a good example why it's so hard for many to accept scientific studies and "proof". A long, fascinating in New Yorker magazine details Syngenta, a major chemical / seed company, and their efforts to discredit a scientist that once worked for them, but started finding results that they didn't like. A lot of the information here is from Syngenta's own internet memos that were released as a result from a class-action lawsuit about the very chemical that this scientist studied. The EPA has consistently found that there is no "proof" even though Syngenta has paid millions as a result of the lawsuit and the chemical is banned in the European Union.
