Not wishing to pour cold water on your hopes @SockFiddler but the current trial has I think just over 300 participants rather than the thousands you think..the initial sample size was destined to be 280 but I think they allowed some more in.No-one is writing off the Newcastle Diet - many of us are eagerly awaiting the results being published of a major study involving thousands of patients across the NE.
In my reply, I was noting the difference between scientific method and tabloid journalism - the Express being the people who perpetuated the MMR-Autism link long after it had been debunked (and then went on to make mercury claims), as one of many examples.

Yes - about 300 but still a significant sample size, depending on whether the results say 1% or 100% of course.Not wishing to pour cold water on your hopes @SockFiddler but the current trial has I think just over 300 participants rather than the thousands you think..the initial sample size was destined to be 280 but I think they allowed some more in.
