This John Bohannon journalist guy created a hoax - chocolate actually makes you loose weight - published it to "scientific journals", and they accepted that with no peer-review.
John's actual goal was to criticize how the diet industry works and how the Media loves magic studies about diet miracles.
But for me the most interesting part of the article is how he created bad science, published it and made his claim stronger. It's kind of terrifying what can be "proved".
