Under the pseudonym Johannes Bohannon, John Bohannon wrote a paper"Chocolate with high Cocoa content as a weight-loss accelerator"detailing a deliberately bad study that he had designed and run to see how the media would pick up the "meaningless" findings. He worked with film-maker Peter Onneken, who was making a film about junk science in the diet industry and how fad diets became headline news despite having terrible study designs and almost no evidence.
