Episode 353 - The Crisis of Science

• https://www.corbettreport.com

Today on The Corbett Report we shine a spotlight on the series of interrelated crises that are exposing the way institutional science is practiced today, and what it means for an increasingly science-dependent society.

In 2015 a study from the Institute of Diet and Health with some surprising results launched a slew of click bait articles with explosive headlines:

"Chocolate accelerates weight loss" insisted one such headline.

"Scientists say eating chocolate can help you lose weight" declared another.

"Lose 10% More Weight By Eating A Chocolate Bar Every Day…No Joke!" promised yet another.

There was just one problem: This was a joke.
