Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

And so, you know, relative to other sciences out there.

And so a study can come out and it can say something completely different than what the consensus says.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

But that's a single study.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

And so if you just cherry pick that study, right, which people, that's a big thing, cherry picking studies.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

You take that one study and you say.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

If it confirms your bias.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

Yes, then you're like, that study says this, but what do the 72 other studies say that have also looked at this question and are kind of going in this direction?

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

That's an outlier study, right?

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

So we have to look at everything together and that's what consensus does.

And then one new study may be published and it may be very interesting and it may lead us down another path, but that one study is not going to refute consensus unless we build upon that and we see more and more studies come out.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

Oh, yes.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

Yeah, I don't think that people respond well to your wrong, traditionally.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

Yeah, I think we're living in a really tough time right now when we're seeing medical organizations combat what the CDC is saying, which never happens.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

I think people need to really understand how unprecedented that is.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

And so what I would recommend is kind of look at global scientific consensus.

StarTalk Radio
Busting Nutrition Myths with Jessica Knurick

So look at kind of these global organizations.

StarTalk Radio

Look at these medical organizations like the AAP, which is the American Academy of Pediatrics.
