Making advancements in cancer treatment has to be several orders of magnitude more difficult than coding an app. Your point sounds a lot like a relative privation fallacy. That is, if the problem you are solving is not the worst problem the

Agreed. Red Bull is not "high caffeine." The active ingredient in Red Bull is taurine. The study was on caffeine but yet they didn't isolate the drug in question. The margin of error for this experiment is at least 1/√(80) or 11%. This is s
