Labeling the test "carbohydrate knowledge" reveals more bias IMO. If you agree lots of carbohydrates are good (like the authors?) you have knowledge. But if not...?

The questions are in the supplementary file...
Number one is
Do you understand what the term carbohydrate means?
To which possible multiple choice answers start with "Yes, very good idea."
Which as an answer, wouldn't convince me that somebody understood the term, if they'd come up with it themselves.
In the true/false one of the questions is
Carbohydrate is Not the body's main source of energy
...which is both true and false, depending on what you've eaten over the last two or three days.
Questions about whole grains being a good source of minerals.. if you've ever heard of phytic acid, you'll probably lose some points there. |
