The news media are hungry for new findings, and reporters often latch onto發生聯繫 ideas from the scientific laboratories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.
To tell the truth, sometimes scientists also get excited about their findings, and leak洩漏 them to the press before they have been through a rigorous嚴密 review by the scientists’ peers.
As a result, the public is often exposed暴露;露出 to late-breaking最新 nutrition news stories before the findings are fully confirmed. Then, when the hypothesis假設 being tested fails to hold up耽擱,延誤 to a later challenge, consumers feel betrayed by what is simply the normal course of science at work.
Sometimes media sensationalism(報紙、電視等的)製造轟動效應,聳人聽聞 overrates高估 the importance of even true, replicated重複;複製 findings.
For example, themedia eagerly report that oat燕麥 products lower blood cholesterol, a lipid脂,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 fats is still the major step toward lowering blood cholesterol.
Today, oat bran’s燕麦麸皮 cholesterol-lowering effect is established, and labels符號, 標籤 on food packages can proclaim宣佈;聲明 that adiet high in oats燕麦 may reduce the risk of heart disease.
The whole process of discovery, challenge, and vindication證明…正確 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關鍵 difference to our knowledge as a whole, but like each individual frame in amovie, it contributes a little to the big picture.
Many such frames邊界 are needed to tell the whole story.
