Facts as things: “I draw upon a remarkable case in which a decimal point error appears to have misled millions into believing that spinach is a good nutritional source of iron”.

"Academic Urban Legends" – AMAZING write-up about citations & sources by @OBRekdal About spinach 🥬 It's a myth that it has an unusual amount of iron. AND an urban legend that the myth was due to a decimal error! https://t.co/AcND056hkY https://t.c
