    This is delightfully ridiculous - n=24 - "Mars" simulation was done by suspending subjects for weeks on end - no improvement for half of the variables tested - best of all...IN MICE @justsaysinmicehttps://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/18/health/resveratrol-mars-astronauts-scn-trnd/index.html …

        Basically, researchers suspended rats from their cages for a few weeks. Those who took a resveratrol supplement didn't lose as much function as the rats that didn't have the supplement in terms of paw grippic.twitter.com/SifjVLzVwG

        Even if we take these results at face value, the difference between astronauts on Mars and rats suspended from a cage is...not small Have a look if you don't believe mepic.twitter.com/SuFqAYosJi

        I mean, we can debate at length the usefulness of rodent models, but this is definitely a bit early to be calling it for good ol' resveratrol

        Also, if you look at the graphs from the study it's much less convincing The one on the left is the BIG finding, because the PWB40 group was the worst. The one on the right is apparently also a BIG finding, because the 7-day value for the PWB40 group was bad too 🙄pic.twitter.com/Cbdj3aUsPU

        I feel bad for the researchers who probably didn't want their study to be written about like this. Science journalism is so poor.

        The study design is ridiculous too though... IMO they deserved the poor journalism

        Nitpick all you want, but I am not going to Mars without plenty of wine.
