> Since health recommendations are generalized for an entire population, it makes sense that experts target individual advice with the public in mind. I profoundly disagree here. I believe it would and should undermine trust in scientific publications if the results get framed with the intend to influence behavior. That is neither scientific nor helpful. Perhaps a statement would need to make sure it cannot be generalized as is. You can say that nuts are healthy for the most part, it won't immediately kill the people with allergies and you could also replicate the numbers game that was put forward as a justification to lie. Perhaps the result of a study needs to be put in context, if it is not "communicable" as is. But this is such an easy example to communicating the results that there shouldn't even be a thought wasted for the "correct" framing of a study.
