This guy released a "report on a study" that combinging 1.5oz of chocolate to a low-card diet caused dieters to lose weight 10% faster than a low-card diet without chocolate. He did it as a commentary on how science and health news reports are filtered out to the public and why we have to beware of what we're reading.

Bohannon is doing great work exposing some of the flaws of the peer review process and the perils of open access journals. I generally support the open access movement but I think it needs to be done carefully and his work goes a long way. The nutrition/food/diet research community was quite the low hanging fruit as anyone familiar with the level of accepted evidence in many of those circles is far too low. There are a few groups out there doing excellent work but the vast majority is very poorly controlled noise that the media loves to run with and many dubious conclusions are based upon.

I have heard a few criticisms of Bohannon within the scientific community but as a whole, I think most approve of what he is doing and believe it will have a positive effect on the peer review process.

Yeah, reminds me of the jokers who were able to get thousands of people to sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide.

This is great.

Not sure how the Invisible Man could send the dude a stronger hint...
 
Re: Dr. Clayton Forrester's Science Roundup

I don't know about anyone else, but when I take a crap, it's not a race. I grab the latest magazine and take my time. Either that or I browse GPL or USCHO. :D

50 seconds? Jeebus.

How is this study's author going to feel when the incidences of people kicking the bucket increases as people who're standing on a stool lose their balance while loosing their stool?

A while back here, there was someone on Shark Tank who was trying to get funding for this little stool that you put under the toilet to put your feet on. I think it was to mimic the squat position while on the toilet.

I once saw a rendering of what andromeda will look like when it approaches the milky way. It was stunning.
 
Re: Dr. Clayton Forrester's Science Roundup

Oh to hell with it. With today's diet "gurus," we will never have a healthy relationship with food in this country. With people like Dallas and Melissa Hartwig, Robb Wolf, Dr. Mark Hyman, Joseph Mercola, David Wolfe, William Davis, and everyone else peddling their way for $20 a book and a Facebook page to go along with it, we will always have the world's highest obesity rate. These *******s are promoting the very culture of binge-guilt-diet-failure-repeat. Extreme calorie restriction and elimination of entire food groups has really never worked as a diet plan.

My morning coffee is simply a way of providing me with a potent alkaloid chemically known as trimethylxanthine. I drink 600 mg of the stuff daily.

And it's probably made with boiling hot dihydrogen monoxide. You're doomed.
