According to Laney's conclusions, what can positive false food beliefs lead to?

Positive false food beliefs can lead to increased food behaviors and attitudes because individuals may develop a heightened appreciation or desire for the foods they believe to be beneficial based on their beliefs. Laney's study demonstrated that when participants were exposed to suggestions about liking certain healthy foods or having positive experiences associated with these foods, they began to exhibit more favorable attitudes toward and increased desire to consume these items. This suggests that the mere belief in the positive qualities of certain foods can influence consumption patterns, reinforcing the link between attitude and behavior. Such findings highlight how cognitive perceptions and beliefs can have tangible effects on one's approach to dietary choices and food-related behaviors.
