It isn't a question of accepting the results. I have a scientific background and the short-term nature of the study, the somewhat superficial methodology and the small sample size (all necessary for its televisual appeal, I acknowledge) led me to conclude that more work needs to be done. Yes there was *some* good, sound methodology. Statistical significance relies on reliable data in the first place, and I did raise, from my own experience of (too much) pasta-eating, that it was likely that some people would have been able to tell the difference. Just a handful of such, in that small sample of people, would have negated the conclusions of the study completely. I accept the results for what they're worth but I wouldn't stake my life on them. The null hypothesis has yet to be dismissed.
