Scientific evidence for health supplements

Information is Beautiful writes SnakeOil? Scientific evidence for health supplements "A generative data-visualisation of all the scientific evidence for popular health supplements by David McCandless and Andy Perkins." I'm not sure of the data (though I have no reason to doubt it) but the graphic is concise.

Yes very nice graph, easy to read.

I need to start taking fish oil.

Perhaps they can now tackle not only placebo-controlled studies, but also, solid epidemiological results related to dietary habits and disease.

That should make for an equally interesting graph.
