- The scientific method is the procedure for testing the validity of possible explanations of a phenomenon (hypotheses)
- Experiments are conducted to either support or refute a specific hypothesis. Once we have much experimental information that supports a specific hypothesis, it can then be called a theory

- However, as practitioners of nutrition, we need to keep our knowledge current
