    Report by a prestigious paper on outcome of an important study -
    report dated 10 November.

    Report by another prestigious paper on the outcome of the same
    important study, dated 10 November.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/fish-oil-drugs-protect-heart-health-two-studies-say/2018/11/10/bcdf0f52-e442-11e8-b759-3d88a5ce9e19_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c8f5868a10f0

    One says Vit D and omega oils are ineffective for heart health and
    cancer. The other says these compounds are effective for heart
    health.

    Which one to believe?

    My view? Neither, but the NY Times is closer to the mark. Both Vit D
    *and* omega oil supplements are useless for heart disease and for
    cancer.

    This world is plagued by bullshit. The need to read is paramount, and
    read widely and closely. And be always thinking.

    Look having a conversation with you is impossible. However, you are under-rating USA quality of produce. Nobody, and I mean nobody, makes
    personal weapons (long arms, small arms and knives) like the USA.
    There is even a cottage industry in both firearms and edged weapons
    which is unique globally. And of the highest quality.

    Nobody makes microelectronics like the USA - think Intel, AMD, ARM
    etc. Nobody makes 5th gen combat aircraft like the USA, ballistic
    weaponry, commercial aircraft (Boeing) etc.

    Unfortunately the Japanese have taken over as preeminent vehicle
    manufacturers now, beating both US and German vehicles for quality.
    However, again, for ultra-large SUVs like the Hummer and so on,
    there's nobody like the US.

    In many arenas, the US shit is the only shit which (a) does the job
    and (b) is of the highest quality.
