This is a fascinating piece about the FALSE claims that chocolate helps people lose weight, and how and why this fraud was perpetrated to make a point about the ineffectiveness of how diet related information is studied and dispensed.
The words, “Play nicely, Draco,” come to mind—such tactics can cost friendships and ruin trust. Please don’t try this at home. Tricking people as a way of making them learn leads them to feelings of shame and resentment. Besides, they may never share their chocolate with you again!

Wow. This. “Or as one prescient reader of the 4 April story in the Daily Express put it, ‘Every day is April Fool’s in nutrition.’” Sigh. But I may still choose to test his fake theory on my own self. 😉
Mmmm…chocolate. It’s so important to be a discerning reader, especially in the diet industry, evidently!
