That was my reaction, too. But given that his complaint was that no one redid the analysis on the actual data, I think it’s appropriate to wait a bit and see if he does it himself, and what the result is. If he doesn’t follow through by looking at the actual data, then I’ll unsubscribing from OB, because that would be a strong signal of bias; but for now I prefer to wait and see.
Also, that relying on that sort of broad statistical analysis makes sense if you have no other source of information. If you have ways of telling whether particular supplements make your life or health better, then experimenting with supplements for yourself could be a good idea.
