Do not always trust the media they oftain right stuff that will have the biggest impact on the reader so they can sell more copies/make more money. Most research is done on young white healthy males. Statistics (30% less fat, but less fat then what) Stacking and stoppers - in sport the most important positions are given to white people. International bias - some events involving judging are predetermined even befor they happen. Difference is 50% between 10 and 5 but . 10 out of 500 is 2% of people got sick. 5 out of 500 is 1% of people got sick (absolute) Therefore there is only a change in 1% of people who get sick. Therefore for one person to not get sick 100 people would have to take the drug.
