The title doesn't specify it.
Also a lot of human to mice analog studies have been performed in the past. If you insist all studies be only performed on humans, the progress of science will slow dramatically.
The killing you or not killing you is a bit of a red herring argument. If you're that close to death you should find the best doctors and rely on them than whatever you read on some orange colored website.

- LegitShady 5y agoNo one is demanding they stop doing studies on mice, rather many people want these articles to make very clear if the results of studies are from humans or mice, because the results often don't translate across species.
- bb88 5y agoMaybe bring that up with the authors then? I would assume they would have felt the need to place that in their title if they believed it would be needed.
- LegitShady 5y agoIt's a long standing complaint about mouse studies - but when people add 'in mice' to titles readers care less, so they don't do that. Even nature has clickbait now.
- andy_ppp 5y agoI’m saying it’s pointless information because 99% of studies are done in mice, we should label the studies that are in humans (i.e. the exception). It’s almost certainly safe unless it says otherwise for people to stop writing this pointless meme after every study that ever appears anywhere. If it is really in humans that will be in the title in most cases because it’s surprising information.
