Mainstream media outlets reported on a Loma Linda University study claiming dark chocolate reduces stress and improves memory, but the study only involved five participants. The "n=5" sample size is highlighted as being statistically insignificant, yet the story was carried by national news organizations including ABC. The segment suggests the story may have been a native advertisement for the chocolate industry.

John Dvorak argues that the popularity of kale is the result of a successful British PR campaign rather than its taste. He requests listeners send "offbeat" kale recipes to his email, noting that most involve parboiling and cooking with bacon fat to make the vegetable edible. The hosts jokingly rebrand the show as a "non-GMO superfood podcast."

Dr. Oz recently promoted tart cherry juice as a "superstar antioxidant" and sleep aid, featuring specific brands on his program. This promotion coincided with a legal battle between the sugar industry and high fructose corn syrup producers over the branding of "corn sugar." The arsenic apple juice scare is viewed by some as a tactical distraction to move the conversation away from the health impacts of corn syrup.
