The article you have posted is a summary of another article in a professional journal, which your reference says it is linked to "World Psychology.".

But the link is not to "World Psychology" as reported there, but to "World Psychiatry," the official journal of the World Psychiatric Association":

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292051-5545

However, this is not to the primary source journal paper. I am still trying to find it, but it means that one must register with the Wiley online journal library.

Yes, we have been given disastrous dietary advice for the last 40-50 years resulting in millions of premature deaths and epidemics of chronic diseases. The dietary fat-cholesterol-heart hypothesis is one of the more pernicious results of shoddy statistical science. If you want sound dietary information, I can recommend this site:

You win. I cannot argue with your brand of reasoning. People who chew tobacco are far more likely to die in motorcycle accidents. Obviously chewing tobacco causes motorcycle accidents.

Well since what you just described is specifically not what the researchers in this article did, then no, you can't argue with my reasoning.

[Talisker]

Taking anti-inflamatory pain killers (Aleve, ibuprofen etc.) increased the chances of committing homicide by 200%. In other words, the study isn't worth sh!@t.

Actually, the study is worth hundreds of billions of dollars in lost sales. Compared to that, paying people to scream that it isn't worth sh!@t and scuff the floor with FUD is a trivial expense.

[Talisker]

People who use band-aids tend to get more small wounds then people who don't. This is a perfectly valid statement just as the study was perfectly valid but as in my statement they seem to have cause and effect turned around.

No, actually, it's not a perfectly valid statement for any number of reasons. Nor, therefore, is your false correlation. Other than that, you're fine.

right... until it went over a line and the person ‘snapped’

normal/unmedicated people would’ve walked away sooner and never approached the point of snapping

Another holier than thou vet motorcycle riding dipshit get together telling everone else they suck and are beneath them.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It is quite valid and a good correlation. You simply don't like it because it points out the error in your thought process.

But you are free to be as wrong as you like.

Medicated to Death: SSRIs and Mass Killings

Every mass shooting over last 20 years has one thing in common... and it’s not guns

I'll keep my blindfold of scientific skepticism firmly in place, thank you.

OK, keep it, but I'll keep carrying, keeping in mind that in several cases planned drug-addled shooting massacres have been foiled by 2nd amendment-observing citizens, while "gun-free" "safe zones" have been the scenes of horror by such "psychotropic"-drug addicts like James Holmes, Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, and Alan Lanza, plus many others. And the Central Command formulary has been greatly modified on these drugs because of unanticipated but measured damage to our troops through maladministration being claimed.

SSRI Stories tells us:

"A June 2010 internal report from the Defense Department's Pharmacoeconomic Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio showed that 213,972, or 20 percent of the 1.1 million active-duty troops surveyed, were taking some form of psychotropic drug: antidepressants, antipsychotics, sedative hypnotics, or other controlled substances.

Dr. Grace Jackson, a former Navy psychiatrist, told Nextgov she resigned her commission in 2002 "out of conscience, because I did not want to be a pill pusher." She believes psychotropic drugs have so many inherent dangers that "the CENTCOM CNS formulary is destroying the force," she said."

As I suggested, you might want to finish your homework on this before you crystallize an opinion. Your best bet is to assume the negative aspect, not the one fed you by the "Magic Bullet" hypers. IMHO.

[Mariner]

Your saying somebody paid me to express that opinion?

I wish.

For mere money I'll express any opinion the payer wishes. So long as it's not fundamentally against my principals.

If you believe ibuprofen causes murder, you need to start taking those other pills they're talking about.

[Seruzawa]

No. Just druggies.

[bog trotter]

Can’t say if it was “chicken or egg” but my son’s wife who has admitted using prescription pain-killers, had our son offed because she wanted everything they had.
Then she convinced a local sheriff that he was suicidal.

[Talisker]

It is quite valid and a good correlation. You simply don't like it because it points out the error in your thought process. But you are free to be as wrong as you like.

Thanks.

[Talisker]

If you believe ibuprofen causes murder, you need to start taking those other pills they're talking about.

Homicide includes suicide. Suicide often comes from depression. Depression is often a chemical brain imbalance.

Yeah, it's impossible that the misuse of a chemical taken to influence pleasure and pain balance in the brain could possibly lead to self-destruction, or emotional imbalance leading to violence.

But marijuana? That stuff is evil.
