“Does Coffee Cause Cancer? And 8 more myths about the food we eat”
By Dr. Christopher Labos

Are you confused about why food headlines seem to flip flop all the time? The answer is partly silly, partly mathematical and wholly engrossing. This is a story about why food headlines are wrong. It’s a story about why researchers can sometimes make mistakes, and why you should be skeptical about that next news story that claims that chocolate is now health food.
