Poly comparisons
Investigator Machiel Stolk writes:
You probably have heard about the following article "The Polymeal: a more
natural, safer, and probably tastier (than the Polypill) strategy to reduce
cardiovascular disease by more than 75%" by Oscar H Franco, Luc Bonneux,
Chris de Laet, Anna Peeters, Ewout W Steyerberg, and Johan P Mackenbach, BMJ,
2004; 329: 1447-1450.Browsing through the readers’ responses I noticed that some readers take the
article seriously and others don’t. One reader in particular suggests that
"In most Internet forums, everyone would have recognized this article as a
cheerful tongue-in-cheek piece worthy of the Annals of Improbable Research."My question is, is AIR worried about the sudden competition from the BMJ?
