There's nothing wrong with skipping a placebo and comparing two valid methods. In the end, all you care about is which method is superior and that is a lot easier if you use both in the same test.
Holy Opposite Day of the Infrastructure Week, Batman!
I was only somewhat aware of the coenzyme Q10 part, but this takes the fucking cake, what with them statins causing all the things they are ostensibly marketed against. Statins are but a steaming deadly pile of NOPE.
No, dementia, not cancer. I was meaning to die before I got dementia see. Because I was taking care of an old lady who lived in an old peoples' home and I was really really against ending that way.
Having worked more than 10 years in the tobacco industry, I can certify that all those claims of smoking leading to a certain death from cancer are highly overblown. Most smokers die before their lungs give up on them. Plus, it's a very expensive way to kill yourself.
Eating herbivores! Like beef? That is so cool. Because it's so boring to do all those right things, frankly. I just eat cashews lately. Is that so wrong? I'm pretty fat tho. Course I don't go outside either. What's wrong with that?
They do, but I think most of those vitamins and minerals are taken in by eating herbivores (caribou). There are some native edible plants in the warmer months, but not like the levels of plants that we eat.
The original study of Eskimos having astonishingly low rates of dying from heart attacks was based on a study (conducted by non-Eskimos) of hospital records in the 1940s. Thing is, they didn't factor in the isolation and strange environment. Turns out that it is incredibly challenging to mush the dog sled over miles of frozen drift in order to arrive at the hospital in time to die there and be recorded in the records. They actually did die of heart attacks, just at home, unsurveyed. Today's Eskimos, having better transportation, are statistically known to die of alarmingly high rates of heart disease. Some say an introduction of carbs into the diet is killing them, but I suspect their arteries are clogged by lipids, and not sugar. Am I saying that a diet high in fat (I'm looking at you, salmon!) might truly be bad for you after all, and always has been? Why yes, yes I am.
Hygiene, also to. Clean hands, utensils, food, then moderation and variety...Simple, yet still harder than it looks
Except when you try to conclude "the new medication has no more effect than a placebo"
The best diet in a few simple rules:Eat food.Mostly plants.Not too much.
And one rule to solve diet related health issues:Increase variation.
use 10x the normal dose to see what happens. Do it for SCIENCE!

I thought about that and got excited about smoking. But smoking, it turns out, only hastens dementia. So bummed.
So, they aren't different in their genes? Do they actually need fruits and vegetables as much as other people?
