Scientific evidence for the benefits of dietary supplements. A great infographic from donnaromer: (via Snake oil? Scientific evidence for health supplements)  “This visualisation generates itself from this Google Doc. So when new research comes out, we can quickly update the data and regenerate the image. (How cool is that??)” Experience this live infographic by David McCandless & Andy Perkins. Here is the Google Doc source if you want to see the raw data: http://bit.ly/qSCE4p I am a big fan of visualizations for a well summarized big picture view.
