Critical Science

Critical Science is focused on a few things I (Dr. Lyle Burgoon) love -- critical thinking (which I don't do enough of at home, ask my family), science, and applied ethics. And ya know what -- even scientists, who are supposed to be trained to be critical thinkers, often mess it up (I'm certainly not perfect). In each episode I try to combine these two passions of mine. Sometimes, we'll explore a topic in the news in a slightly more critical way. Other times we might explore how a lack of critical thought has led to some minor, and sometimes major, problems. But ultimately, I want us to explore critical thinking more deeply. How do we do this critical thinking thing, anyway? What do we need to watch out for? And how does critical thinking align with the scientific method as it's actually practiced by real scientists? And we'll tackle tough subjects like applied ethics challenges and scientific integrity questions. My hope is that through this journey we'll learn and grow into better critical thinkers -- together.

1,974 Cans of Diet Soda, Sucralose, and Cancer.

Welcome to Summer 2023, or as I like to call it, the Summer of Sweeteners! It seems like everywhere I turn, someone is talking about how artificial sweeteners will give you cancer, or will give you a leaky gut, or some other such nonsense.

In today's episode of Critical Science I am talking about the latest paper to throw sucralose under the proverbial bus, Schiffman et al. (2023).

I'll cut to the chase -- the paper is, in my opinion, a load of rubbish.

Here are the promised links from the podcast:
