And again. Front page news on the BBC News home page.
An interesting study, for a previously known link between food additives and hyperactivity in some children, given undue exposure and prominence.
BBC Science/Scare Mongering at its best again.
Can you even make valid, responsible news out of single studies? I'm leaning towards nope more and more these days.
So what would be responsible science journalism? And who decides?

I think from our discussion the other day, part of the issue is that the news likes to report 'new findings' but fails to report when other findings would suggest the previous findings were incorrect...
It's very frustrating. I'm still infuriated that the Lancet published the study which suggested that the MMR vaccine caused learning disabilities in children, when in fact the validity of the research was extremely poor in the first place.
