这项实验探讨了两种常见的关于饮食与疾病联系的非专业理论的后果：营养中心主义，认为营养素（例如钾）对避免疾病至关重要，以及全食中心主义，认为天然食物（例如香蕉）含有这些营养素，是最有益的。用营养素而不是含有这些营养素的全食物来描述一个人的饮食，可以降低这个人患上主要饮食相关疾病（如心脏病、糖尿病）的可能性。尽管营养专家越来越强调天然食物的健康益处，但人们在估计疾病风险时似乎优先考虑营养素。
This experiment explored consequences of two common lay theories about the diet-disease link: nutrient-centrism, the belief that nutrients (e.g. potassium) are crucial to staving off disease, and whole-food centrism, the belief that whole foods (e.g. bananas), containing these nutrients in their natural context, are most beneficial. Depicting an individual's diet in terms of nutrients rather than whole foods containing these nutrients reduced the perceived likelihood that the individual would experience leading diet-related diseases (e.g. heart disease, diabetes). Although nutrition experts increasingly emphasize the health benefits of natural whole foods, people nevertheless appear to privilege nutrients when estimating disease risks.
