Oh, so cool, from first impressions it looks like solid good scientific method at work:
- 200 participants, which is not super many, but already something to at least start talking about in terms of statistics & non-fluke probability;
- your gold standard of: "put forward a theory, then run an experiment that can falsify it" (vs. e.g. retroactive)
- according to the article's title, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.
I didn't read the actual article, and I'm not a scientist myself or good enough in statistics to be able to validate it further for no errors, but the initial signals already make me so happy that in nutritioning there are people trying to do good science! <3
- tsco77 6y agoI've seen similar studies bouncing around. The results are always kinda promising, maybe. The important thing here is fish burps. Omega 3 pills are relatively inexpensive with the really only negative side effect being fish burps. So maybe it does work for aggression, antisocial behavior (heart disease, protection from Nuero cognitive disorders later in life), or maybe it doesn't. But if all it costs is a few bucks and some fish burps, isn't it worth trying?
