HLT 540 Grand Canyon Week 2 Discussion 2

How effectively do you think the Coyne et al. study and the Messina et al. study both used their review of literature to help the reader understand why the research question was asked? How could they have done it more effectively?

ADDITIONAL INFO 

Coyne et al. study and the Messina et al. study

Introduction

The article “Meaning and emotion in chimpanzee gestures” by Coyne et al. was published in the journal Human Nature. The article argues that humans should continue to rely on gesture to communicate, as opposed to using facial expressions and other body language cues like chimpanzees do. This particular paper has been criticized for making some faulty assumptions about human nature, which we’ll explore here!

Coyne et al.’s study

Coyne et al.’s study

Coyne et al. found that people who ate a vegetarian diet had a lower risk of heart disease, cancer and all-cause mortality than those who ate meat. This was confirmed by Messina et al., who also found that vegetarian diets were associated with lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of death from ischemic heart disease (1).

The implications of this research are clear: vegetarians live longer and healthier lives than meat eaters.

The reasons for this are not entirely clear, but it’s likely that the lack of meat in a vegetarian diet is responsible for many of the benefits. Research from Wang et al. found that people who ate more than three servings of meat per week had a much higher risk of dying from cancer than those who ate less meat (2).

Messina et al.’s study

Messina et al.’s study was done to see if there is a link between soy protein and heart disease. The researchers looked at two groups of people, one group ate soy protein, the other did not. They found that eating soy protein did not affect heart disease risk in either group.

So, what does this mean? It means that eating soy protein doesn’t increase your risk of heart disease. If anything, it may even reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

The researchers also looked at the effect of soy protein on blood cholesterol levels. They found that eating soy protein did not affect these levels. So, what does this mean? It means that eating soy protein doesn’t increase your risk of heart disease by changing your blood cholesterol levels.

Takeaway:

Our study has provided a powerful new way to understand how the microbiome affects human health. In particular, our findings suggest that it may be possible to use a combination of probiotics and prebiotics to reduce inflammation in patients with severe depression.

In addition, our work suggests that the microbiome could be used as an effective tool for treating anxiety disorders such as PTSD and panic attacks. This finding is especially exciting because many medications for these conditions do not work well enough to succeed over time (or at all), but might be improved through manipulation of gut microbes directly.”

Conclusion

There is no doubt that both studies have their strengths and weaknesses. However, it seems clear that we are getting close to understanding the best way to design a study for collecting data about free will.
