In January, three researchers published a paper — “Statistical Heartburn: An Attempt to Digest Four Pizza Publications from the Cornell Food and Brand Lab” — investigating four papers Wansink co-authored on pizza-eating habits. The researchers listed 150 data inconsistencies across Wansink’s four papers, The Sun previously reported. Wansink said in March that his lab would conduct an “internal and independent” review of his studies. An outside firm was paid to verify the data analysis of the studies in question, although it is not clear whether Wansink or Cornell paid for the verification. Wansink attributes additional inconsistencies to rounding errors, transcription mistakes and critics’ incorrect assumptions relating to the arithmetic process.
