One of the hottest supplements right now is green coffee bean. Touted by Dr. Oz as a miracle fat burner, it’s been flying off the shelves (and is one of the supplements we get asked most about). Want to know how useless it is? Check our page on it: examine/supplements/Green+Coffee+Extract/ But here’s where it gets interesting - there was ONE study out there that made it appear that green coffee bean was miraculous. Or at least, it looked miraculous. If you actually delved into the data, a whole bunch of inconsistencies showed up, making you question where the conclusions came from. And just recently, the paper was finally retracted: retractionwatch/2014/10/20/authors-retract-green-coffee-bean-diet-paper-touted-by-dr-oz/ This is why it’s *critical* that you not only look at the abstract, but delve into the methodology and the data. It’s also why for both Examine and ERD we have multiple layers and a variety of experts who check, double-check, and triple-check everything we put out. It’s slow, hard, careful work. And it requires a team, not just one person.
