The research, published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, reveals a raft of advice given in the past was wrong. Sifting through a mountain of research conducted between 2001 and 2010, it was found that 146 research papers were convincing enough to reverse the accepted wisdom in the medical community.
The reversals range from one paper which showed that allergen-impermeable bed covers were ineffective in the fight against asthma, to disproving the effectiveness of imposed hypothermia during surgery for intracranial aneurysms. So you know, here’s the list of the most major reversals recorded by the researchers.
