We all know cocoa has weight loss properties (Theobromine), but to do such a poorly constructed study was pointless.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>I Fooled Millions Into Thinking Chocolate Helps Weight Loss</title><url>http://io9.com/i-fooled-millions-into-thinking-chocolate-helps-weight-1707251800</url></story>

Getting rid of p-values is appropriate sometimes, but not other times. Demanding large sample sizes is appropriate sometimes, but not other times. Not trusting silly conclusions like “chocolate causes weight loss” works sometimes but not other times. At the end of the day, you have to actually know what you’re doing. Also, &lt;i&gt;try to read more than one study.&lt;/i&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>I Fooled Millions Into Thinking Chocolate Helps Weight Loss</title><url>http://io9.com/i-fooled-millions-into-thinking-chocolate-helps-weight-1707251800</url></story>
