Join Cameron English and Dr. Chuck Dinerstein on Episode 140 of the Science Dispatch podcast as they discuss a wildly unethical "thought experiment."
A new study claims that “ultra-processed food addiction” affects one in eight older adults. But how solid is the science behind that headline? Beneath the striking numbers lies a web of assumptions about what counts as “addiction” and even what qualifies as “ultra-processed.” Do the study’s definitions, measures, and interpretations measure up? Do its bold claims hold up under scrutiny?
