This beautiful article is both a fascinating read and a solid reminder that we need science, philosophy, and social science/anthropology that studies science. https://t.co/s1TmTqvGEZ
Here's Saturday morning read: fascinating paper on urban myths in academia. InfoSec has quite a few urban myths, mostly due to garbage research, bad math, and confirmation bias. https://t.co/CxosbnB7lY
@sadmoonanalog @MeFromBefore I've read the spinach thing is an academic urban legend: https://t.co/dY50W6oe9L
Why has this never been pointed out by dieticians en masse? Afraid to admit they’ve been wrong about spinach all these decades?
Why I question stuff.

The article at the link should be required reading
You might have been eating callaloo in vain 😩😂 "The myth from the 1930s that spinach is a rich source of iron was due to misleading information in the original publication: a malpositioned decimal point gave a 10-fold overestimate of iron content." https

Note that not only is spinach not a good source of iron, but the majority of the minerals in spinach are NOT bioavailable because they are bound to oxalate, in insoluble compounds. You can absolutely do better with liver or red meat!

This is just great. Spinach, incorrect decimal places, Popeye, iron, academic urban myths, the important of tracing references to their source and trusting nothing, and a scientist admitting they were wrong after 30 years. It's all in there. https://t.co

Academic urban legends - Ole Bjørn Rekdal, 2014 https://t.co/FByV10Bdqq - fascinating insight into urban myths and referencing practices in academia re the iron content in spinach.
Highly recommended reading - great article by Rekdal (2014) about how some academic urban legends are born and persist for decades: e.g. iron in spinach and the modern day 'avalanche of low-quality research'. https://t.co/g5nx5j5ROk
