  > What null hypothesis would you prefer? "It has no lasting effects", probably. And you need to make sure you're looking for both positive and negative effects. "It's harmful" is a huge bias for a null hypothesis. > Then what are you saying? That you shouldn't assume it is harmful. I didn't say anything about what parents should be "able to do". I didn't even give an opinion on the candy thing. I just think your justification is a big overreach. But also a null hypothesis implies you're currently doing the testing, so that's a different scenario too...
