See Which Health Supplements Aren't Backed By Science
    #23419503 - 07/07/16 08:45 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

There are a lot of fad diets and articles out there that tell you which commonplace and obscure supplements you should be adding to your diet. But how do you discern the genuine from the bullsh*t?

This graph by David McCandless from Information is Beautiful ranks hundreds of health supplements based on the amount of scientific research backing their big claims. The graph only used data from human trials that used a random placebo-control method. Supplements with the strongest evidence backing them are placed at the top. Working your way down the graph, the supplements are backed less and less by conclusive evidence.

The larger the circle, the more often it is searched for on Google, acting as an indication of how big the buzz around the health supplement is. According to the graph, the circles shown in orange highlight health supplements that haven’t had much scientific research, but potentially are "one to watch.” You can find the supportive texts on the Information is Beautiful website.

Information is Beautiful also have a 256-page book out called “Knowledge is Beautiful,” full of more infographics and data-visualization, which you check out here. You can also keep up to date with their latest work on their Facebook and Twitter.

There doesn't seem to be any info on healing crystal supplements but maybe they are still busy with the research.

I expected it to be all of them since none of the vitamins they sell you in pill bottles are approved by the FDA
I remember their excuse was that the vitamins needed to be digested from something else, and the levels sometimes were dangerous if you ate them every day

At a glance, this infographic doesn't seem all that strong.

For example, if you click on the "marijuana" bubble in the "promising" section, it leads you to a meta-analysis of "cannabinioids." It looks like it only includes two studies on MJ, the rest being actual "cannabinoids."

Thanks LS, you beat me to the punch. I was going to post a thread the other day asking the community what vitas were most effective for their intended purpose
