Paranoia II

I don't particularly want to harp on about this. But the Independent "retraction" (ffs) got on my nerves. This morning in The Guardian it was succinctly debunked by Ben Goldacre, (now there's a lad who knows a cherry pick from a control group).

And this wee league table made my common-sense, I-did-inhale heart glad.

You can get the full text of The Lancet report here - (you'll need to register with them, but you don't need an Athens log in or anything). This is quite interesting, too.
