So today I wanted to do an episode about deception in health information. How do these deceptions work and how to detect them. We don't all have the knowledge or time to go through the literature with a fine toothed comb, and even those like me that do have more knowledge and more time can still be misled, and we are often misled by well intentioned folks that think they have correctly interpreted the data and are revealing some kind of new controversial truth to us. I mean governments and businesses have an incentive to mislead us and have in the past, so it isn't surprising to think that they are doing it again. However, we can also be misled by those that are making these accusations against governments and businesses. How confusing! Today I will talk about this and I will also make some corrections of things that I have said during this series on nutrition and some of them are big ones!
