I am always sceptical of studies. Living next to a major road makes you, insert percentage, more likely to develop Alzheimer's. Eating bacon causes cancer.
The Trouble With 'Scientific' Research Today: A Lot That's Published Is Junk
I wish I could find the podcast, but a Meta-scientist stated that 85% of all the medical studies he and his team try to replicate are not replicable. An experiment being replicable is one of the basic principles of sound science. People take junk science at face value and make life altering decisions based on studies of what you should and should not do.
Further more a study that states you are 17% more likely to such and such when factored into the base probability is actually a miniscual difference.
Especially when it comes to food, supplements, and exercise their is an extraordinary amount of nonsense. I have been spending a lot of time waiting in doctors offices and clinics, as my wife is pregnant, and all these so called men's magazines are filled with nonsense. They are complete trash. Everyone wants an edge, advantage, or shortcut, easy, best, but there is no substitute for sound principles, hard work, and common sense.
