📰 Beware of headlines shouting, 'New study reveals...'!

💡 Remember: a single #ScientificStudy doesn't prove anything conclusively. What truly counts is the big picture painted by systematic reviews & meta-analyses, which gather and summarise all relevant studies on a topic.

Not all research is created equal! 📊

Understanding #StudyDesigns and their limitations is key to separating the strong findings from the weak and determining from which to draw firm conclusions.

🍽️ #FadDiets can be tempting but often lack sustainability and scientific backing. Learn how to spot them and make informed choices for your well-being. 💪

⚠️ Caution: Headlines may oversimplify findings from #AnimalStudies . Remember, we are not mice or pigs; translating results into human health isn't always straightforward. Stay vigilant and read beyond the headlines for clarity.

📌 Friendly reminder: #AnimalStudies can provide valuable insights but do not always translate to human outcomes. Take this type of research with a grain of salt and prioritise human trials for more certainty.

Graphs should tell a story, not deceive. 📈

Take a look at this infographic to uncover the common ways #graphs can mislead and how to avoid falling into the trap.

📰 When discussing risks, focusing on the #AbsoluteRisk rather than just the #RelativeRisk is key!

It prevents misinterpretations and fear-mongering and allows individuals to grasp the real magnitude of the risk, aiding in better decision-making.

#Correlation ≠ #Causation ! Just because two things happen together doesn't mean one causes the other. Remember, there could be certain variables driving the relationship that need to be investigated. 🔍

Optimal vitamin & mineral intake is vital for health. While a varied, balanced diet is ideal, #micronutrients can sometimes be overlooked. 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Seek professional guidance and watch for updates and tailored solutions from the #ZeroHiddenHungerEU project. #WorldHealthDay
