The news media are hungry for new findings, and reporters often latch onto發生聯繫 ideas from the scientificla boratories實驗室 before they have been fully tested. Also, a reporter who lacks a strong understanding of science may misunderstand or misreport complex scientific principles原理.
To tell the truth, sometimes scientists also get excitedabout their findings, and leak them to the press before they have been through a rigorous嚴密 review by the scientists’ peers.
As a result因為、由於, the public is often exposed to late-breaking nutrition營養 news stories before the findings are fully confirmed證實.
Then, when the hypothesis假設 being tested fails to hold up to a later challenge, consumers顧客 feel betrayed by what is simply the normal course課程 of science at work.
Sometimes media sensationalism聳人聽聞 overrates被高估 the importance of even true, replicated複製 findings.
For example, the media eagerly report that oat燕麥 products lower blood cholesterol, a lipid脂質 indicative標示 of heart disease risk.
Although the reports are true, they often fail to mention that eating a nutritious diet that is low in certain某些 fats is still the major step toward lowering blood cholesterol.
Today, oat bran燕麦麸皮’s cholesterol-lowering effect is established, and labels標籤 on food packages can proclaim宣佈, that a diet high in oats may reduce the risk of heart disease.
The whole process of discovery, challenge, and vindication證明 took almost 10 years of research.
Some other lines of research have taken much longer. In science, a single finding almost never makes a crucial difference to our knowledge as a whole, but like each individual frame邊界 in a movie, it contributes a little to the big picture.
Many such frames are needed to tell the whole story.
