Nice job Randy.  I was in shock when I saw that after all the hoopla, that the 'study' was entirely bogus.

I also really wondered, due to the amazing low calibre and apparently unsupervised nature of the work,  if the Harvard School of Public Health was possibly some ride-along small time organisation that was able to somehow use the same name as a prestigious University.

Apparently not so. From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_School_of_Public_Health

"The Harvard School of Public Health is one of the professional graduate schools of Harvard University, located in the Longwood Area of the Boston, Massachusetts neighborhood of Mission Hill, which is next to Harvard Medical School. HSPH is considered a significant school focusing on health in the United States. It is the country's third-oldest school of public health.

How unfortunate for the good reputation of Harvard and now if this is typical of that organisation's output, we should to begin worrying mightily about anything they publish relating to public health.

Maybe this is just a rogue and a misuse of the name in which case someone (and his supervisor) should be removing "Harvard" from their letterhead shortly.
