Re: Why Most Published Research Findings AreFalse

[Guest guest]

I don't believe everything I read, for sure. I read a lot of things and AND them together. I have this feeling that a lot of data published is because someone got a grant and had to publish SOMETHING. The articles that "review" others can be slanted.

REVIEW articles in mdconsult.com can be quite informative.

The articles that present the basic scientific data from tests, I think, are less likely to be purposely skewed.

But I do think the word MOST is inaccurate. I sense a tendency for some writers to inflame, and some to stick to the status quo.

So read the articles and check them against medical texts, especially in the nutrition world. I'm still try to figure out how I lived so long without enough choline. They've even taken it out of Wal-Mart's MVs.

Regards.

Thanks for the brilliant insight Jeff!! And I don't mean that tongue in cheek.What then can we depend on for unbiased, accurate info, if not peer reviewed scientific studies?? Seems silly to me to say that MOST (probably some, but not most) studies are false.on 1/21/2006 8:29 AM, Jeff Novick at jnovick@... wrote:
