Ben Goldacre really doesn’t like the results he can see from that Durham trial into Omega 3 being fed to children. In fact, he’s certain that it is entirely nonsense, a fake, perhaps even a simple fraud.
My interpretation of all this running about is very simple:
Madeleine Portwood is falling over herself to make time for journalists
who know nothing about science, with her "research", and her "limbic
system", and her graphs; but as soon as someone who knows about T-tests
and the Consort guidelines for presenting clinical trial research data
comes along, she shuts up shop.
Journalists of Britain: if a
woman from Durham fitting this description approaches you with a
"science" story involving children, you know where to come first.
