[SOLVED] Media News Report

Your task for this final learning journal is to find one recent (within the past 5 years) media news report about a nutritional research study, and critically evaluate the information provided.  For simplicity, please use only online news articles.  You must also provide a link and reference to the original research article the media report is discussing.  Please answer the following questions in your evaluation and make use of the information provided in the textbook. In one paragraph of 5-7 sentences please provide a summary of the media report, including the food item, who the authors of the original research article are (you can refer to them by the first author’s surname; for example, PT Johnson et al., or PT Johnson’s group, etc.) , what the main findings of the study were, and a description of the subjects used (for example, animal or human; male or female; children, adults, or elderly; healthy, overweight, or diabetic). How can you verify the accuracy and credibility of this media report? (comment on the reputation of the website and its authors; do the links provided actually lead you to the proper information;  what are the credentials of the authors; do the references lead to other reliable websites or original research articles?) Compared to the original research article, and based on the Discussion and/or Abstract, did the media report omit any information from their report in order to “sensationalize” or “exaggerate” the findings? Make sure you provide specific examples from your sources.
