- Comparing one elbow to the other. I have no idea what “clinical epidemiology” is. The level of self-deprecation is remarkable. From the BMJ Christmas issue.
- The value of cod liver oil. From the BMJ Christmas issue.
- More evidence for radiation hormesis (beneficial effects of small amounts of radiation).
- Evolutionary medicine reaches the BMJ. The word paleo does not appear.
- Medical journals: “information-laundering operations for drug companies”
Thanks to Robin Barooah and Mike Bowerman.
YOU SAID:
“Evolutionary medicine reaches the BMJ. The word paleo does not appear.”
I don’t get hung up over the word “paleo.” The concept is still there. as evidenced by the fact that the much more important words “evolution” or “evolutionary” appear 70 times.
Cod liver oil was still standard issue in British childhood in the 50s. So, for a different reason, was California Syrup of Figs. Olive oil was used mainly for treating earache.
