Comment by Brent Flickinger

Researcher and coauthor of a 2026 reproducibility and verifiability case study in nutrition research.
The majority of studies exhibited a high risk of bias, with significant limitations in reporting quality and methodological rigor. Research on the relationship between potato consumption and CRC risk is insufficiently reproducible and verifiable, undermining the trustworthiness of its findings.

Disputed The text is real and appears verbatim in the abstract of the 23 June 2026 Nutrition & Diabetes article, but Brent Flickinger is listed only as one of many coauthors, not as the sole quoted author. Because this is a multi-author paper rather than a single-author statement, it cannot be verified here as a Brent Flickinger quote. The submitter’s source passage also identifies him only as a coauthor and does not itself contain the quoted text.
