Why do a study that looks at the "link" between sleeping pill use and risk of death that does not control for the diseases associated with higher risk of death such as depression, heart problems, anxiety and the impact insomnia has on all?
Why report on such a study with blaring headlines and warnings and bury all the caveats at the end of the study?
Maybe someone who reads this blog can explain why medical journals publish such garbage and why reporters can't take 5 minutes to look at previous research on the subject?
