We need to consider research as an ongoing conversation. You can’t look at one study in isolation. Every study offers its data into the research conversation. Some studies show a breakthrough in knowledge. Other studies may point out complications that need to be addressed so no one is harmed. Many studies just add a few more baby steps to keep the research heading forward. Sometimes research brings us to a dead end. This is not considered a failure, it just eliminates a path to follow in the future. For example, finding out that something does not cause heart disease is a good thing, because research efforts won’t be wasted in that direction. And, most importantly, every study adds to the accumulation of data we can use to make recommendations for the better health of the population at large.
