This china study 'dude' is a well respected scientist. That blog author is not.


Did you miss the part where he blatantly misrepresents research? The writer irrelevant. Utter your soothing "well respected scientist" mantra all you want. You can look at the abstracts yourself that show campbell's misrepresentations.


care to give an example?


Yes I did. Campbell did not misrepresent anything; abstracts are highly condensed summations written by someone else who may or may not have the background necessary to fully convey the underlying research.

Poorly written abstracts are the leading cause of sensationalist headlines.
