The Upshot
The Cookie Crumbles: A Retracted Study Points to a Larger Truth
Getting people to eat better is difficult. So is doing research about it, which is why skepticism is important.
"I
reached out to the authors of the study to ask how this could have
happened, and Mr. Wansink replied: “The explanation for mislabeling of
the age groups in the study is both simple and embarrassing. I was not
present for the 2008 data collection, and when I later wrote the paper I
wrongly inferred that these children must have been the typical age
range of elementary students we usually study. Instead, I discovered
that while the data was indeed collected in elementary schools, it was
actually collected at Head Start day cares that happened to meet in
those elementary schools.”
This
is a level of disconnect that many scientists would find inconceivable,
and I do not mean to suggest that this is the norm for nutrition
research. It does, however, illustrate how an inattention to detail can
derail what might be promising work. The difficulties of research in
this area are already significant. Distrust makes things worse. The
social sciences are already suffering from a replication problem; when work that makes a big splash fails to hold up, it hurts science in general.
We
want to believe there are easy fixes to the obesity epidemic and
nutrition in general. We want to believe there are simple actions we can
take, like putting labels on menus,
or stickers on food, or jazzing up the names of vegetables. Sadly, all
of that may not work, regardless of what advocates say.
When nutrition
solutions sound too good to be true, there’s a good chance they are." 7

Why You Can’t Think of the Word That’s on the Tip of Your Tongue
Welcome to the latest edition of the Smarter Living newsletter.
"There
you are in the middle of a conversation, and suddenly you draw a blank
on a particular word. It’s right there … if you could just remember …
You move on, and hours later, something jogs your memory and the word comes to you, long after its relevance has passed.
So, what happened?
You
experienced what researchers call a tip-of-the-tongue state, that
agonizing moment when you know precisely what you want to say but you
fail to produce the word or phrase.
Far
from being telltale signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, these
moments are simply part of the way we communicate, and they’re more or
less universal."
