>>And with a control group of twenty the confidence levels should be so small as to make the study nearly worthless. That's the big complaint. The others might have some importance, but aren't as big of weaknesses in the study as the small sample size, particularly the very small control size.<< That wasn't established. If you feel it was, please share the math that establishes it. Science is not a matter of your opinion. It is a matter of statistics. BTW, what was the control group size of the studies performed by Monsanto to allegedly prove safety (90 day study only, cancer showed up between 90-120 days)? Where was the criticism that 90 days wasn't a sufficient time frame when the cancer begins just after 90 days?
