Interesting. Here's the statement the Professor put out: https://foodpsychology.cornell.edu/research-statement-april-2017 https://foodpsychology.cornell.edu/research-statement-april-... And Retraction Watch, a fairly reputable blog, remarks on the matter more here: http://retractionwatch.com/2017/04/06/cornell-finds-mistakes-not-misconduct-papers-high-profile-nutrition-researcher/ http://retractionwatch.com/2017/04/06/cornell-finds-mistakes... It might be useful to note who really benefits by causing this kerfluffle: purveyors of unhealthy foods. So while I see the scientific situation, I also see the political situation. eat yer kale, folks.

You believe the researchers who have found errors in Dr. Wansink's work are in league with the food industry? You don't think the mathematical errors stand as errors in their own?

  I am one of these researchers (see https://twitter.com/sTeamTraen/status/913546338842939393 https://twitter.com/sTeamTraen/status/913546338842939393 for a crude attempt to establish my authenticity, which doubtless would have zero validity for actual spies). Let me assure you that none of us is in league with the food industry. In fact since Dr. Wansink's work seems to go down pretty well with the food industry (cf. his various consulting gigs), I'm not sure what they would have to gain from us.

> It might be useful to note who really benefits by causing this kerfluffle: purveyors of unhealthy foods. Fun conspiracy theory time! What are the changes his detractors are secretly funded by Big Dorito and the junk food industrial complex?
