What amazing statistics!  What are the different numbers we see here as 
percentages... let's see... 13%, 25%, 38%, 63%, 88%...

Wow!  It looks like we have a sample size of EIGHT PEOPLE!  I am now 
utterly convinced that Aspartame is being used by the Illuminati to bend 
the population of the world to their evil will!

COME ON!

Is discussing a study of a whopping EIGHT depressed people supposed to 
tell me ANYTHING about the population as a whole?

By the way, an earlier post mentioned this study having TEN people 
involved... were two omitted from these statistics to make them appear 
even MORE *ahem* impressive?
