True Dietary supplements include vitamin pills as well as products that contain echinacea, ginseng, and garlic. 5. True In general, registered dietitian nutritionists are reliable sources of food and nutrition information.
7.
©McGraw-Hill Education Section 2.1
Nutrition: Science for Consumers Learning Outcomes • Explain the basic steps of the scientific method. • Explain the importance of having controls when performing experiments. • Design a nutrition-related study that involves human subjects. • Explain why nutrition information derived from anecdotes is not evidence based. • Discuss why similar scientific studies often have different results.
8.
©McGraw-Hill Education Understanding the
Scientific Method In the past, nutrition facts and dietary practices were often based on: • Intuition • Common sense • Conventional wisdom (“tradition”) • Anecdotes (personal reports) Today, nutrition experts rely on results collected from scientific research (evidence-based results). Scientific investigations involve the basic steps shown in Figure 2.2.
9.
©McGraw-Hill Education Scientific Method:
Basic Steps Figure 2.2
10.
©McGraw-Hill Education Laboratory Experiments Figure
2.1 An experiment is a systematic way of testing a hypothesis (question). Experiments are often conducted on rats or mice before performing similar research on humans. ©Adam Gault/Getty Images RF
11.
©McGraw-Hill Education Key Terms1 Evidence
based: information that is based on results of scientific studies Anecdotes: reports of personal experiences Treatment group: group being studied that receives a treatment Control group: group being studied that does not receive a treatment Variable: personal characteristic or other feature that changes and can influence an outcome
12.
©McGraw-Hill Education Key Terms2 In
vitro experiments or “test tube” experiments are conducted on parts derived from living organisms, such as cells. In vivo experiments are conducted on whole living organisms, such as lab rodents.
13.
©McGraw-Hill Education Treatment and
Control Groups Most experiments that involve animals or humans have a treatment group as well as a control group. Having the two groups allows scientists to compare results. Figure 2.3
14.
©McGraw-Hill Education Human Research:
Experimental (Intervention) Studies Experimental studies in humans may be used to obtain information about health outcomes related to specific dietary practices. A large group of human subjects are randomly assigned to either the treatment or control group.
15.
©McGraw-Hill Education Key Terms
for Human Intervention Studies1 Placebo: fake treatment, such as a sham pill, injection, or medical procedure. Placebo effect: effect that occurs when a person reports a positive reaction to a treatment even though he or she received the placebo.
16.
©McGraw-Hill Education Key Terms
for Human Intervention Studies2 Double-blind study: experimental design in which neither the participants nor the researchers are aware of each participant’s group assignment. Single-blind study: researchers know which subjects are in the treatment and control groups.
17.
©McGraw-Hill Education Human Research:
Epidemiological Studies Epidemiology: the study of the occurrence, distribution, and causes of health problems in populations. Observational Epidemiological Studies: Case-control study: Individuals who have a health condition are compared with individuals with similar characteristics who do not have the condition. Cohort study: Collects information about people, analyzes the information, and measures changes in variables of a group of people over time.
18.
©McGraw-Hill Education Types of
Cohort Studies Prospective • Means “to look forward” • Follows group of healthy people into the future and looks for factors that may have contributed to changes in their health Retrospective • Means “to look back” • Examines people’s past exposures to explain why some people are affected by a condition and not others
19.
©McGraw-Hill Education Epidemiological Studies: Cohort
Studies Figure 2.4
20.
©McGraw-Hill Education Limitations of Epidemiological
Studies Epidemiological studies can show relationships, but cannot establish causation, that is, whether a practice is responsible (the cause) for an effect. Cause ⟶ Effect When two events or observations occur simultaneously within a population, it is not necessarily an indication that one is related to (or causes) the other.
21.
©McGraw-Hill Education Correlations What is
a correlation? • A relationship between variables • Occurs when two variables change over the same period • A direct correlation results when two variables change in the same direction. • An inverse correlation occurs when two variables change in opposite directions. It is important to understand that some changes could be coincidences (unrelated events) and not the result of “cause-and-effect” relationships.
22.
©McGraw-Hill Education Understanding Correlations Figure
2.5
23.
©McGraw-Hill Education Analyzing Data,
Drawing Conclusions, and Reporting Findings Researchers use a variety of statistical methods to analyze data. These methods allow for finding relationships between variables and health outcomes. Researchers summarize findings and seek to publish scientific articles. Articles submitted for publication in scientific journals undergo peer review before being published. Peer review is a critical analysis of the study and its findings conducted by another group of scientists in the same field.
24.
©McGraw-Hill Education Research Bias Scientists
are expected to collect and analyze data in an honest and objective manner. • Avoid the influences of personal attitudes or biases. • Sources of funding for research may influence scientists involved in the study, making findings less reliable. • Peer-reviewed scientific journals require authors to disclose funding sources.
25.
©McGraw-Hill Education Confusion and
Conflict Conflicting study results are often the result of different study methods. The science of nutrition is constantly evolving. Old beliefs and practices are discarded and advice changes as nutrition scientists conduct more research and gain greater understanding.
26.
©McGraw-Hill Education Section 2.2
Nutrition Information: Fact or Fiction Learning Outcomes • Explain why there is so much nutrition misinformation. • Discuss how people can become more critical and careful consumers of nutrition information. • Identify common “red flags” that are signs of nutrition misinformation.
27.
©McGraw-Hill Education Become a
Critical Consumer of Nutrition Information Do not assume that information in popular media is reliable. Be wary of ads for nutrition-related products that rely on testimonials and anecdotes. The First Amendment to U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. • Information or claims do not need to be true. Consumers are responsible for questioning and researching the accuracy (reliability) of nutrition information.
28.
©McGraw-Hill Education Ask Questions What
motivates the authors, promoters, or sponsors to provide the information? Is the source scientific, such as an article in a peer-reviewed nutrition journal? If a study is cited, how was the research conducted? Does source cite respected nutrition or medical journals or mention reliable experts?
29.
©McGraw-Hill Education What Is
Quackery? Quackery is promoting useless medical treatments. • Practicing medicine without proper training is illegal. • However, providing nutrition information and advice without proper training is legal.
30.
©McGraw-Hill Education Look for
Red Flags Promises of quick and easy remedies Claims that sound too good to be true Scare tactics Personal attacks on registered dietitian nutritionists or conventional scientists Statements about the superiority of certain dietary supplements or unconventional medical practices Reliance on testimonials and anecdotes
31.
©McGraw-Hill Education Finding Other
