So, to the extent we have been able to even investigate, it appears that nutritional science, behavioral economics, and cancer research all have the same problems that first came to light in the social sciences. The principal difference appears to be that in cancer research and nutritional science it is harder to even attempt a replication. Hypothesis: this has been happening in all fields of science, and the social sciences are actually just the first to have brought it to light.
