The hoax was revealed long ago but I never really knew how they set it up.
Basically they needed "peer review" for their study results. The results, not the actual study. That's key.
They had a statistician massage data sets until their needed conclusions could be reached.
Basically they didn't lie, they did do the study, control groups and double-blind protocols, they did weigh people, etc.

They determined the "formula" in getting a study to the public via some people knowledgable in that arena.
Massage data, find some peer to review, get it published, make sure media sees that publication, public embraces it.

9-10 years later people still believe dark chocolate is good for you.

Sounds like when statins came out...

100 test subjects...50 statin / 50 placebo...

at end of trial, 1 statin dead / 2 placebo dead...

"tests show statins reduce risk of death by 50%..."

well, it's like, holy ****, 100 people? WTF?
