cute fuzzy bunny
Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I don't know what the article says, or if it even applies to your case. Just providing the link, in the interests of promoting nice, long lives for cute fuzzy bunnies everywhere.
I think I read that one, but i'll have to re-read it. IIRC my issue with that one was they pulled up historic data for people with heart trouble, and found the ones with high triglycerides and low cholesterol still had heart trouble. What they didnt do was go find if people with the same conditions ever lived fine without heart trouble.
Sort of like pulling up a list of auto accidents and finding out that in half of them people were talking on the phone and therefore concluding that the phone caused half of all accidents.
A cause and effect problem, a causation/correlation problem, plus a problem with specific sampling.
My skeptic alarm also notes that the study was launched not too long after Tricor and its siblings were FDA approved.
