In a recent interview of Nina Teicholz she mentioned 2 things that are supposed to happen in scientific endeavors but seem to be totally lacking in so-called nutrition science. The first is that when you do large observational studies the purpose should be to generate hypotheses for further testing using randomized controlled studies since the large observational studies cannot determine causation which is the purpose of the controlled experimentation. She also said that scientists are supposed to be always looking for things that refute their hypotheses not simply looking for ways to confirm in. They are supposed to be diligently looking for where they might have got things wrong. When instead data that refutes their hypotheses are simply hidden or discarded that is not science that is bias.
