I believe this article. Growing up my mother gave us vegetables at every meal and shreaded wheat for breakfast. Later, after reading a study she stopped the shredded wheat and started to serve Captain Crunch because it showed to be more nutritious in a study. Then there was a study that showed that her canned vegetables were actually bad for her children. She moved to frozen but by then her children were grown.

Scientific studies have always been wrong. Most drug studies only study drugs which a company has a patent for. In other words they get a patent for a drug then they find out how many usages they can sell it for. They don't test a lot of substances to figure out which cures a disease best.

That's true, nutritional studies in particular are contradicting themselves all the time. Almost makes me wonder if they're just a glorified form of advertising.

Nonetheless, you missed the point of my joke. ;-)
