Dr. Maryanne Garry, Professor of Psychology at Victoria University of Wellington joins us again, this time to talk about how to interpret studies you hear about in the “news”.
Flossing is bad for you! Hormone Replacement Therapy causes cancer! Mediterranean diet lowers cholesterol!
Dr. Garry explains how to research these claims and what to look for in terms of scientific process vs. drawing correlations from existing data.
Very interesting discussion. Wish you would have talked a little about the funding of the studies. “Follow the money”.
