Problem 4
Which of the following sequences represents the correct order of steps to locate the original peer-reviewed source of a sensational media nutrition claim?
A
Search the news article for author or study names → search PubMed or Google Scholar for the study title/authors → read the methods and funding disclosures → look for subsequent replication studies.
B
Contact the influencer for the dataset → if no response, assume the claim is false without checking published literature.
C
Search social media comments for links → presume comments pointing to blog posts are equivalent to peer review → accept the first blog summary found.
D
Trust the headline → buy the product → search for replication studies only if adverse effects occur.
