“…The value of preregistration is nicely illustrated by the study that set out to document the benefits of chocolate (Bohannon, Koch, Homm, & Driehaus, 2015). A total of 15 participants were assigned to one of three diets for 3 weeks: a low-carb diet, a low-carb diet plus a daily 1.5-ounce bar of dark chocolate, or no dietary changes (the control group).…”

Prespecification of confirmatory hypothesis tests is a useful tool that makes our statistical tests informative. On the other hand, selectively reporting studies, measures, or statistical tests renders the probability of false positives higher than the p values would imply. The bad news is that it is usually difficult to tell how much higher the probability is. Fortunately, there are enormous opportunities to improve the quality of our science by preregistering our research plans. Preregistration is a highly distinctive strength that should increase our faith in the veracity and replicability of a research result.

4. Scientific Hoaxes and the Predatory Paradox: Past, Present, and Future

The Predatory Paradox

In Chapter 4, ‘Scientific Hoaxes and the Predatory Paradox: Past, Present, and Future,’ Amy Koerber examines scientific hoax articles with a focus on the weaknesses and flaws that such hoaxes can expose in the larger information ecosystem of scholarly publishing. The chapter thus reveals that scientific hoaxes further complicate any neat distinction between journals that are predatory and those that are not. Hoaxes have, in some cases, exposed specific journals as predatory. But in other cases, they have had effects beyond those that the author anticipated, exposing major weaknesses or fraudulent practices not only at journals or publishers suspected to be predatory but also at the most prestigious and well-respected journals. More importantly, publishing hoaxes have unintentionally exposed weaknesses in the mechanisms that we have long relied on to ensure research quality. For example, hoaxes have exposed flaws in even the best journals’ peer review systems, and when hoax articles continue to get cited in subsequent literature—sometimes even after retraction—they lead us to question our habit of relying on citation counts as a measure of research quality. Partly in response to hoaxes, industries have emerged around the desire to pin down the legitimacy of a particular author or publication in an environment that makes it increasingly easy for fakes to be mistaken as the real thing. For example, we now have ORCID identifiers to help us establish the identity of authors and Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) to help us pinpoint the location and verify the identity of published texts. These identifiers are becoming commonplace in academic lingo, but it is easy to overlook the fact that each of these markers emerged as a commercial development with its own complexities, nuances, and shortcomings. As we argue, these innovations reflect our desire to pin down something that is certain and real in a landscape where it is increasingly easy for fakes to circulate as the real thing.

Effects of Cocoa Antioxidants in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2D) is the most common form of diabetes and one of the most common chronic diseases. Control of hyperglycaemia by hypoglycaemic drugs is insufficient in for patients and nutritional approaches are currently being explored. Natural dietary compounds such as flavonoids, abundant in fruits and vegetables, have received broad attention because of their potential capacity to act as anti-diabetic agents. Especially cocoa flavonoids have been proved to ameliorate important hallmarks of T2D. In this review, an update of the most relevant reports published during the last decade in cell culture, animal models and human studies is presented. Most results support an anti-diabetic effect of cocoa flavonoids by enhancing insulin secretion, improving insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, exerting a lipid-lowering effect and preventing the oxidative and inflammatory damages associated to the disease. While it could be suggested that daily consumption of flavanols from cocoa or dark chocolate would constitute a potential preventive tool useful for the nutritional management of T2D, this recommendation should be cautious since most of commercially available soluble cocoa products or chocolates contain low amount of flavanols and are rich in sugar and calories that may aggravate glycaemic control in T2D patients.
