In this episode, me and Stacey Legendre examine the Mail Online's claim that "Studies have shown that wealthy people live longer, but new research suggests it may be their novel experiences that makes them believe they do." Oh really.

Holidays and slowing down time

Enough shampoo bottle rattle, let's examine some tabloid claims. In each weekly episode, we fact-check a new claim that "studies have shown" something weird. What does science really say about clowns, light therapy, power ballads, and sudoku? Short episodes, running time average 6 minutes. 

Rather than giving any real information about science, medicine, research, or technology, the phrase "studies have shown" is often instead used as a weapon to close a conversation down, scare people, and sell stuff - all in the name of 'science'. HAVE studies shown?
