Adequacy
The foods provide enough of each essential nutrient, fiber, and energy
Balance
the choices do not overemphasize one nutrient or food type over the other
Calorie count
the foods provide the amount of energy you need to maintain appropriate weight
Moderation
the foods do not provide excess fat, salt, sugar, etc
Variety
the foods chosen differ from one day to the next

Blinding:
participants don’t know which group has the treatment
Double blinding:
participants ans scientist don’t know who has which treatment
Correlation:
related events without a cause and effect
Anecdotes:
Story, I fell great you should do it! (Is not research!) Spring boards for research
