Individual studies can't tell you too much. Eg there was a rather solid study like tea to throat cancer risk with the analysis that it might have been due to the drinkers drinking tea at very high temperatures, rather than the actual c

As you have access to the paper - do they take blood only once and compare the groups or do they they take 2+ times and compare the change? With such a small sample the first option would be very dubious.

"I want to prove that it's good for something, but I don't care what it's good for" is not really a good research question. Then you'll measure 100 things and only publish the one that makes your intervention l

I can't access the full text but from the summary it looks as if blood was taken only once. So the difference between one and the other group was not measured before-after and then the change compared, rather a simple comparison was ma

It doesn't matter whether the government is able to do so, more important is whether citizens have a reasonable expectation that the government can and does do so.

Whether there are techniques is irrelevant, whether people trust that they'll not face consequences due to their answer is much more important. You can reassure them as much as you want - who really would want to risk real-world cons

Seems this reflects to a large degree societal values and current debates rather than the"real" impact. Eg US has a lot bigger inequality and higher proportion of destitute people than most of Western/Northern Europe, so the

Sadly MOOCs as provided by US institutions have gone pretty much the same way as tuition: insane cost for what it is. The French national online university is an interesting model though.

Exactly. All this nonsense here about discipline tells me people haven't really even started. We're not meant to be machines. Test habits that shut find useful, as well as motivational tools that you find useful. But don't tr

Ibuprofen is not really a cash cow though as it is now out of patent protection. So while you seem to desire maliciousness I'd venture to say.this is a rather prudent scientific approach. Should all men stop taking ibuprofen on the ba

Good government incentives should support something that wouldn't otherwise happen. They balance out market inefficiencies. The lack of risk capital for startups or affordable loans for SMEs is an inefficiency. The reduction of costs f
