What you know is wrong!

That's the conclusion of the a new article in New Scientist magazine. Many studies are completely wrong because:

"small sample sizes, poor study design, researcher bias, and selective reporting and other problems combine to make most research findings false."

So, if you thought you could trust what's in a study, think again.

Of course, this problem is only compounded by the fact that once a study is done, people accept it. Plus, there's no time or especially money to reproduce a study so whatever conclusions the original scientists come to, they stick for a long time.
