* Scientific Challenge Once a new finding is published, it is still only preliminary. One experiment does not prove or disprove anything. The next step is for other scientists to attempt to duplicate and support the work of the first researchers or to challenge the finding by designing experiments to refute it. * Can I Trust the Media to Deliver Nutrition News? The news media are hungry for new findings, and reporters often latch onto ideas from the scientific laboratories before they have been fully tested. Or a reporter who lacks a strong understanding of science may misunderstand complex scientific principles) To tell the truth, sometimes scientists get excited about their findings, too, and leak them to the press before they have been through a rigorous review by the scientists peers. As a result, the public is often exposed to late-breaking nutrition news stories before the findings are fully confirmed. Then, when the hypothesis being tested fails to hold up to a later challenge, consumers feel betrayed by what is simply the normal course of science at work. The Consumer Corner offers some tips for evaluating news stories about nutrition. * Scientists uncover nutrition facts by experimenting. Single studies must be replicated before their findings can be considered valid. New nutrition news is not always to be believed; established nutrition news has stood up to the test of time. * The challenge of Choosing FoodThe variety of foods to choose from * Table 1-4 Glossary of food types basic foods milk and milk products; meats and similar foods such as fish and poultry; vegetables, including dried beans and peas: fruits; and grains. These foods are generally considered to form the basis of a nutritious diet. Also called whole foods. enriched foods and fortified foods foods to which nutrients have been added.
