- W754427723 abstract "Consumers are regularly bombarded with news re ports on foods, nutrition, fitness, and health. For example, rarely a week passes without the media report ing stories of contaminants detected in foods. Some re ports are attention-getting articles in popular publica tions, while others may represent the latest scientific find ings in scientific journal articles. But the average con sumer doesn’t have a technical background to help sort out real news from sensational tactics. How does one know which report is true and which is “junk” science? Here are some caution signals, along with some ex amples when necessary, that can help you spot junk sci ence reports. • The recommendation promises a quick fix (for ex ample, a food is promised to “melt fat away”). • Dire warnings of danger are made about a single prod uct or regimen (for example, sugar and MSG have long been misleadingly singled out as dangerous). • The claims sound too good to be true (for example, an herbal product purported to cure anything from hair loss to cancer). • The statements made are very dramatic, but they are refuted by reputable scientific organizations. • The report lists good and bad (junk) foods (every food has a function, and there is no such thing as a miracle food). • The statements are made to help sell a product (for example, a new book warns the consumer to stay away from common foods because they are supposedly harmful, although reputable scientific organizations throughout the country dismiss the claim as another unwarranted scare). • The recommendations are based on only one study; each person is different, and such a report assumes that everyone reacts to the same foods in the same way. • The statements are based on anecdotes rather than studies published under the scrutiny of fellow scien tists; legitimate scientific studies are published after peer review, so other scientists are able to reproduce the results, or challenge them. • The statements make blanket conclusions and ignore differences among individuals or groups. • The conclusions drawn from a complex scientific study are too simplistic." @default.
