Alan Beard added,
It's a somewhat different problem, so I don't think it would fit on the graph per se
Obesity tends to be related to more factors than illicit drug use, so they are hard to compare, basically
so claims by some media sources 'sugar 4x the harm of cocaine' irresponsible/invalid/inappropriate ? but diabetes an undeniable prob
Pretty much, those claims are usually based off a speculative study done in rats or some new neurotransmitter, not real life
The societal costs might be 4x as much, because it's a problem for a lot of people, but cocaine much worse for an individual
Sadly that 'considered' message fails to be disseminated by MSM -> lack of belief/credibility applies to much PH message reporting?
There are huge problems with PH/science reporting in the media, it frustrates me no end. Such variable quality
I've actually written a couple of blogs on the topic https://medium.com/@gidmk/health-reporting-is-shit-and-we-are-all-to-blame-a-resveratrol-story-6e7454d5f684#.5x1kfmzbw …
Far more researchers need to do similar imo to effectively communicate their speciality eg http://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/prof-no-one-is-reading-you … - topical to convo
I'd argue that it's a systemic problem with how we measure academics and journalists...
...academics are measured based primarily on their output, not communication. Journalists only on reads, not accuracy.
