Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Interesting but don't agree.

My mother being my prime example: for all intent and purposes should be dead now, the only good thing she does for her body is take these vitamins. She eats all the wrong kind of food is overweight and the only redeming factor is the vitamins.

She has handled eczema and gall stones with these vitamins and I know she is only still around because she takes them.

I wondering what other factors there were in these studies that showed people actually getting worse.

    Hard to believe.... but I guess I could understand.

    But you know what-- scientists can never make up their damn minds.

    Coffee is bad. Coffee is good. Wine is bad. Wine is good.
    FISH is good. Fish is bad.

    There is so much information out there it's hard just to begin to separate this @!$%#.

    I don't see how taking a vitamin with dinner every other day could not help you.
    And if anything, it could help you psychologically-- which I think is probably something even bigger.
    If you think you're helping yourself, and you feel good about it, definetly on some level it's benefiting you.

    Actually I don't think the problem is necessarily with science but the media and perhaps the industry built up around ever changing studies.

    Then they wonder why no one believes them when they tell us something is good for us, or bad for us, or the world is doomed.

    Hey - good point. Didn't even think about it that way but you are right!

      But wait scientists are all about diligently researcing, uncovering the facts, establishing cause-effect relationships between the facts and presenting it in an unbiased and understandable way to the general public, so that we then can make intelligent decisions.

      Or am I being silly? In fifty years of existence we have swung from global cooling to global warming, and as saveyourgeneration and FDBRyant3 noted, we have been told that just about every foodstuff we consume is bad for, good for us, or indifferent. Given the drivers behind publication and funding, this is unfortunate and compromises credibility and believeability.

      Another Big Lie, who wrote this? Bush or the medical association? perhaps the insurance industry. There is no supporting data on this. You want us to stop taking supplements to stay sick, BIG LIE!
