In regards to health, it is almost impossible to do an effective double blind study, since they a) do not go for 20 years or longer (like what about the next generation) to see long term affects, and b) no two people are alike, so what bothers one to another is going to vary based on how much else their body has to deal with, their genetics, etc. It is the best study there is, but once you look into it, it seems almost useless.
