It is shameful that a researcher would falsify data. But it probably happens more often than we think.
Below is a quote from and link to another article about this.
The already shaky case for the anti-aging powers of resveratrol, a substance in red wine, is looking a little shakier.

The electronic age has and is bringing more and more data to light that is false or faked. We can never really without reservation believe all data and research. Thus, making it more difficult for those that abide by the rules. :(

Very true, mstanley2265. It will be great if we become effective enough at catching those committing fraudulent research that they stop doing it -- even if they won't stop for personal ethical reasons.

Publishing earns money, it's the main problem. People get greedy for money or recognition, but mostly for money. :(
