Join Dr. Chuck Dinerstein and Cam English on the Science Dispatch podcast as they discuss:
A short newsletter item summarized a new Canadian study into a simple takeaway: toddlers who eat more ultra-processed foods tend to develop more behavioral problems. The statement is technically accurate—but like many science headlines, it omits the context that explains what the findings truly mean. When the effect sizes and baseline scores are examined more closely, the story becomes far less alarming—and more interesting.
