> Interesting. But rubbish non the less even by a lay person's viewpoint. Only seven healthy men took part in the study. A study with this number of participants wouldn't get you past 'A' level, let alone acceptance by scientific communities.
People get unnecessarily obsessed with sample size when it is significance that is really of interest. Indeed, if they found a significant effect (as they appear to have done), then the fact that it is detectable with such a small sample is more, rather than less, impressive to me!
