That the most popular class at UW for years was "How to Lie With Statistics"? True.
Generally speaking, I'm skeptical. I do look at numbers in reports like that one. If you don't have any reason to trust a source, you'd better find out if you can trust the numbers, right?
On the other hand, I gained over 50 pounds on Paxil, and nothing changed in my eating habits until I'd put on 35 of those pounds. I'd say that points to the drug as a likely cause.
Thanks for the reminder that we have to check the numbers studies are based on. Especially since most of us are in a state that makes resistance seem too hard at times, it's vital to be informed of what tests are based on.
