Release suggests peanuts reduced kids’ risk for obesity, but maybe it was the exercise Health News Review

Wouldn't you expect a news release from a academic medical center to be of high quality? Unfortunately that is often not the case.
My last post was about the website Health News Review which grades news articles and news releases on 10 quality criteria and assigns a 5 star rating. This recent news release from the University of Houston suggesting peanuts reduced kids’ risk for obesity only passed 3 of their 8 quality criteria (2 did not apply) and only received a 2 star rating.
This poor quality reporting is one of the reasons we get more confused about medical and health study results. Please review this free site and it will help you make better medical and healthcare decisions in the future.
Please let me know if you have any questions on their quality criteria.
