Urgent Information—You be the Judge!
My mind is made up!
Now, you be the judge!
Throughout my research for The Medicine Mentor, I had always wondered about the relationship between “Research Articles” and who benefits from them. ( I really do know, but this way it sounds a little more interesting).
And I have always subscribed to the two mantras of skepticism…
- “Follow The Money” …meaning–find out who will ultimately benefit.
- “Statistics Don’t Lie, But Statisticians Do” …meaning–you can spin the results to say what you want them to say. For example: The glass is half full is much more positive than the glass is half empty. Or, There is 6% unemployment which sounds negative, but it still means 94% are employed which is much more positive.
So, when I read this article titled:
Children’s Diet Not The Main Cause Of ADHD
I knew this was something I needed to further explore. The article is not badly written….but wait till you get to the bottom of the article!
The source is non other than “The Sugar Bureau”!!! The statement on their website is:Improving knowledge and understanding about the contributions of sugar and other carbohydrates to a healthy balanced diet.
Hmmmm….so if we follow the money—who benefits if the article finds sugar is not to blame for ADHD?
Who?
The sugar industry of course!
My point is this; please have a critical eye when reading and evaluating the research out there and don’t jump to any conclusions. Please allow me to help you separate the facts from the fiction.
Here is the link to the article. At the bottom of the article is the link to The Sugar Bureau that sponsored/endorsed the research.
