Second, beware of studies that “prove” anything. You can never prove anything with a hundred percent accuracy. Just because the sun has risen every single morning you’ve been alive doesn’t mean it will rise tomorrow. So when research studies say A definitely causes B, beware! And if a study says that A almost always causes B, look at the sample size. The sample size should be really big and really diverse to come to any definitive conclusions. We are not all forty year old white males or eight year old kids so if those are the majority of the subjects, the results will not apply to you.
These are just a couple tips to look at research critically, especially the kind the news likes to report, so that you aren’t fooled into buying the wrong detergent!
