fun to examine.

It's good for people to question information and also learn about what science says about supplements.

Evidence vs. Myth

forcoop recommended this 1 year, 9 months ago

I'm a big believer in evidence-based behaviour, so often ignored in the alternative-healthcare arena, and this looks like an excellent resource. I haven't examined all the studies so I can't vouch for their quality, but I like that the evidence is being considered!

Worth spreading for those who hunt every health magazine in search of the new life magic formula.

Great graph!!

rmcgrail recommended this 1 year, 10 months ago

Useful and the creator appears to be keeping it up to date.

Kookyukie recommended this 1 year, 10 months ago

Clearly shows that supplements are limited in scope, some only noted for certain health concerns and marginally so; nothing in itself is a panacea.

rrwright recommended this 1 year, 10 months ago

Great infographic to visualize the relative evidence for various nutritional supplements.

kb8cd recommended this 1 year, 11 months ago

This has got to be the best way to look at data since Excel.

hhabbal recommended this 2 years ago

Cool tool to help take the quackery out of quack medicine! The rest of the site is pretty nifty too. We live in a data-intensive world and need better tools and techniques to get the msessage across.
P.S. Look up Hans Rosling if you're interested in a pioneering data visualizer.

twinspop recommended this 2 years ago

Excellent infographic on various supplements

genre_surfer recommended this 2 years ago

Great display, but beware the interpretative review of the evidence that sits behind it. If in doubt, get a PhD, go to the source and read the journals...

tsmyther recommended this 2 years ago

I find it interesting that I've stopped using much of what's below the "Worth It Line" on my own over the last year, and have started some of those above it on recommendation from friends, health care folks, or from my own reading. Well done, as usual, @infobeautiful !

lsolla-yates recommended this 2 years ago

Clear, interesting, informative.

chris recommended this 2 years ago

Some great info-graphics and frequently updated blog with new goodies.

Information is Beautiful is a great site for infographics and visual miscellany. Here is one of my favorite data visualizations, an interactive chart of health supplements and the evidence supporting their effectiveness. The higher the balloon floats, the better the available evidence and the larger the balloon, the more popular it is on Google.
There's also a "worth it line" for glance-ability.
